Hi all.

Spotted a link in Practical Classics to the site.  About time we started to get some good online resourses for the 126.




I will return a link from BlitzNorthEast soon.

Keep up the good work.

HI phil great to see you on here, yes i have only just found out our club was in the classic car mag practical classics. I spoke to the editor a while back to get a little bit aboytus in there. It certanly did the trick!!!

So phil tell us a bit more about your 126, if you need parts or spares just post a message on the parts wanted section or join the club to get 10% off ricambio. We have a polish contact who gets us many parts now. His name is dajwid.

Thanks for joining the forum

I only really got into 126 because I became involved in building NCF Blitz Kits.

A freind of mine showed me the 126 based kit in about '97 but at the time I was into Mini's and you know how Clique that can get!

My Mini hobby and love of off-road driving led me to build the NCF Blitz 2, a Mini based off-roader.  Later after I lost my Mini in an accident my hobby then was purely the Blitz.

Needing to own a complete set I bought the 126 based one in the picture above, and then a 126.  Both have been sat now for 2 years waiting for me to find the time to do some work on them.

Now the 126 is more than just a donor car to me.  I have seen the virtues of all the little fiats.

But being a man of many hobbies and many passions I don't have the time (or the space for them all) but I do feel the 126 bubbling up to the top of the "to-do" list!!

Hi and welcome BlitzNorthEast,
I used to own a Blitz 1 aswell but recently sold it on E bay. They are good fun. The one I owned is the red Car 99 on the For Sale page on http://pages.zoom.co.uk/blitzracing/index.htm
I am more interested in the Blitz 4x4 now. I have seen it on your site and love the look of it ( I too am well into off roading ) Can you tell me how much you reckon it costs to build or where I can buy one already made?
I know where to get the shell and all from www.ncfblitzfreeserve.co.uk but I would prefer one already made. Saves the hassle!
Anyway welcome to the forum.
Cheers,
Adam.
