Siata 1400 Coupe

April 10, 2018 By pete

We first ran this story in April of 2006. Peter Voorhees was well into restoring this one off 1400 Siata. Then we lost track of both Voorhees and the Siata. Find out what happened-Ed.

This is the abbreviated story of a Siata that I bought in 1985 at a flea market in Stowe, Vermont. Restoration process has been slow, however. I’ve been telling my friends ‘This is the Year!’ for so many years it’s really become a joke. But the journey has been so much fun I don’t mind at all. Every year I learn a little more and finish a little more, but there are still things to learn and do.
