Hi Folks
« on: July 11, 2010, 11:41:21 PM »
Hiya everyone, been looking about here for past few days, so finally joined, really really like the idea of having something special as a bit of a "toy", something to keep me occupied  :D but couldnt afford anything, maybe hopefully a 126 might change that  [-/

This probably isn't the best place to ask this, but i notice all the 126's for sale in Poland are saloon types while the RHD versions in the UK seem to be hatchbacks, anyone know why there's a difference? and if it's worth getting either shape over the other?

 :D Hi Scratch , Easy answer as the cars made in Poland were all air cooled cars hence the two doors. They never had the watercooled 126 Bis that was the last model sold here. There tend to be more 126 Bis 3 door cars comming up for sale here juust by virtue of there age  [-/

Thanks Rusty :) have to put the pennies away now and see what i can find, maybe aircooled might be easier to get my head around mechanically if theres less parts :D
