My name is Kleanthis and I am a 62 y.o. male individual from Greece. I have been an owner and a lover of a 5d Fiat Ritmo 60 CL, for more than thirty years. Generally speaking, I had been a fun of the Italian cars and perhaps I still am. Long ago, I decided to run two Ritmo restoration projects, in a workshop here in Athens, as a result of my love to those cars. Honestly, it has never been an easy decision and as well, an easy task for me.
My first restoration project, has been started during the year of 2003 and it still remains  unaccomplished until now, (although I have never gave it up, neither I'm going to) due to countless difficulties and personal problems, that I have faced since I've started with it. The relevant vehicle, (you can see it in the photos attached) belongs to me since the year of 1979 and it has been proved to be a decent and a faithful companion, for more than 20 years to me. In fact, that car has been in fully operational condition, until the day I decided to start that restoration project. I might soon, select the most typical project photos, so as to send them to you, with a little story about that car and I hope you will like it.

My second restoration project, including a Nuova Ritmo 105 TC, hasn't been started yet, due to the difficult economical status, in my country the recent three years, or so and that situation has maked it uncertain, that I will ever start with it. Nevertheless, I shall remember that.. hope dies last, doesn't it?.  Well I guess, I should not be too long, in my first contact with you this time, since it isn't going to be the last one.(smile) It was really nice, to talk to you and I hope that we are going to be in touch, from now on.
With my greetings and my best regards to you all,
