My mate Bob just sold his MK2 127 the other week.It was a minter with just 16000 miles on the clock.A guy from the south to buy it.The 127 was a cracking little car the only thing was they disolved before your eyes like all the fiats we know and love.Oh eye he has a 128 lowered no interior or bumpers and an x/19 1500 engine in it.Goes like stink.Oh yes and its purple!

I actually really like the x1/9, not many of them about now days, you can get them reasonably cheap though, but i have heard panels and doors can go upto ?400-500,  :shock: was in a classic car magazine, some lad my age was restoring one into an abarth.


i also really like 127's now  :lol:

I remember years ago there were loads of these around but not any more, dwindling away like all the great Fiats!
I would like to know more information on the engine and gerbox set up? It's a rear engine set up so is it similar to the 126 setup?
A transplant is come into mind! :roll:

Post by: paul harbinson. on July 21, 2005, 11:34:25 AM

No mate the 127 was fiats fiest venture with front wheel drive and transversley mounted engine and gearbox.It was fitted previously fitted in the autobianchi primula in the mid sixties to judge customer reaction before the fiat badge was fitted.God im sad!!!!!!!!

Post by: paul harbinson. on July 21, 2005, 02:07:02 PM

Heres another fact.The guy who designed the 127,I think his name was Pio Muzzi was killed on his way to the cars launch while driving from Rome to Turin in his 500.I really am an anorak.

yes Paul, i think i have read that in my fiat history book! was he testing the 500? and he had a head on with a lorry! terrible! what puts my mind at ease is knowing  how those italians drive  :lol: Hopefully if we all take it easy and keep the spare wheel in the front, we should be ok  :D
