Title: a starter Fiat 126 - ideally in RHD (London but willing to travel)
Post by: shivayash on January 12, 2012, 08:10:39 AM

Hello chaps,

I am sure this post will be lost among all the other 'wants' for UK 126s but if anyone is selling up, I am keen to buy.

This will be my first classic Fiat - I've owned many cars in my time, of the Fiat variety only two, Uno (1988) and Panda (2007).

I am based in North London.

Best wishes,

Is it for a Bis (watercooled) and aircooled version?

I'd be happy with either - what are the pros and cons of each?

I think the BIS is newer - and 704cc - but obviously the aircooled is probably more reliable.

Best wishes,

Oh no the Bis v Aircooled war begins :P

Welcome to the forum, Have a look at past posts on the subject, there are a lot :-)

I own a Bis. I think the alternator set up of the Bis is different to that of the aircooled.

I own a bicycle and there are fairies at the bottom of my garden  :P :o :P

Angelo there is a subtle difference between a starter Fiat 126 and a Fiat 126 starter  :$

Good luck in your search mate  ;D

I am selling my rare British early style aircooled. It is more expensive than a his because they are more   sought after.

BIS is good, just thoroughly service the cooling system when you get it, never had a hairdryer  :P
