Got to be one of the first a/c 126's in the country :o Its not a Bis, Depending on the condition and inspection, looks like a real bargain :thumbup

Wow! This is one of those desirable early 126 aircooled versions. I very much hope an enthusiast buys it.

Nightmare, I saw it when it was first listed, I wish I'd pressed 'Buy it Now' but I've already got 4 cars on the drive...a beautiful green just like green fly (although obviously not as posh)  :cry:

I am regretting it as well. Should have bit the bullet and just bought it and bear the one-off wrath of the wife. Not many of these early models come up for sale. Hopefully, it got sold to a Fiat enthusiast and not sold as spares.

Just wondering what date the side repeaters turned up on 126's? I think they became compulsory in 85 or 86, but this car appears to have them.

They were standard equipment on all 126's and earlier Fiat Models

Hadn't noticed that they are on all 126's before.
