Post by: Bar Vitelli on November 11, 2013, 07:29:52 PM: I think Chris will have misread the advertisement i.e. it had been garaged for a long time when you bought it.

It's a beautiful car and I still regret not buying it!

Good luck with the sale, it needs work but will be a minter once done...

Post by: DeVilleChris on November 11, 2013, 07:43:38 PM: Yeah my fault, I did misread it :$

It is a nice car I agree.. I wanted to buy it.

I do apologise

Post by: Bar Vitelli on November 11, 2013, 08:48:25 PM: It was actually registered on 8th August 1973 which makes it (as far as I am aware) the 2nd oldest original 126 in the country...if it was a bit less and a bit closer it really would be worth a view...

Post by: Kent126 on November 13, 2013, 05:44:08 PM: Whos got the first?

There is an 1973 'L reg' kicking about somewhere. It was a Fiat demonstrator, im sure.

Post by: Hazey-n-Marc on November 13, 2013, 07:06:47 PM: Bar Vitelli has the oldest surviving example we know of in Britain. The L plate demonstrator was pre production, no signs that it survived any time at all.

Post by: Kent126 on November 14, 2013, 11:29:36 PM: Ah well that clears that up. Don't fancy adding it to your collection Garry, having numbers 1 and 2 together? ;D

Not sure where it is now, but I don`t think the new owners are on here.
Title: Re: Well... This is nice
Post by: Bar Vitelli on November 15, 2013, 09:45:59 AM: I remember that car, it's the one on Wikipedia and one of the cars that got me first interested in 126s.

It was beautiful but I think it's been modified since and is not now as original.

Same registration date as my favourite blue car 1st August 1973! ;D
