For decades, owners of old Italian cars in the Denver area have brought their broken machines to Aspen Import Auto in Englewood, where veteran Fiat and Lancia expert Tom Dotter and associates would do whatever they could to keep those beloved 128s and Bravas and Betas on the road.

Dotter passed away unexpectedly in May, leaving behind a yard full of his treasured Italian cars and a shop full of Italian parts. His heartbroken survivors would like to see as many of those cars as possible go to people who will put them back on the street and/or race track, so this Wednesday will be the day for Aspen Import Auto's Great Fiat Yard Sale of 2019.
