I was about to say no, but I can now see why some might want to buy this car. Not bad for a Fiat!!! Shame about the private listing though...... whenever i see that it puts me off the seller straight away as it so obviously opens the door for "shilling" ( I think thats what its called ) to take place.

I always liked these cars but I clearly remember opening the drivers door on a five year old one in the mid 80s and it fell off in my hands

the hinges had completely rotted away from the body

They're okay, but give me a Mk1 Uno Turbo any day.

In the late 70's early 80's my best mate was an alarm engineer. These were the weapon of choice. They were ragged rotten. By that I mean driven hard till the rust killed them, but whilst you had them they were great fun.

I used to act as his "apprentice" and we'd go off all round the country answering alarms for night clubs everywhere. Brilliant time, free escorted entry, usually a drink on the house and hang around until the next call came in.
