Hi All Just thought id say hello. I take delivery of my fioat 126 tomorrow and i cant wait.
I havent owned one before but have memories of them when i was young and love the look of them so ive eventually managed to find one. Its  left hand drive but who cares, it looks cute and in cracking nick bodywise.
Ive a lot to learn about them so im sure ill be on here daily and hope to meet new friends and get tips on maintanence etc.
Although i dont know the exact model of the 126.
It looks like was from poland and its a G reg on brit plates.
Il keep you posted and upload pics this weekend.
Kind Regards

Hiya. Yes she was in Plymouth. Shes now in north staffordshire. She really is cute,
I just got a slight clutch riding on hills problem and a very slight oil leak but other than that shes mint. I cant wait for the dry weather so i can have a play and do some jobs on her.
Its strange. These little things get in your skin eh, we love her alredy. Never to be sold again.
She has a home for life here with us now. Get the jobs done and then wel be going camping in her all summer long  8)

 Try to adjust the clutch and see if this helps, if not replacing shouldn`t be much of an issue as it`s pretty straight forward and complete clutch kits come up on eBay for as little as £25.
 I`m glad it`s gone to a good home and it`ll be enjoyed.
