Hi all.

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

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.
