Hi Jake,
I think that eBay is out of the question but car and classics would be the right sort of site for this car, you want a site which people know about and not some sight which which is not popular enough to give the car the exposure it needs. You want to get it on the sight which will give the car the most exposure so more people will see it and be interested in buying it but also a car site which specialises in them, like car and classic which is for classic cars. If you put the car on somewhere like auto trader then you wouldn't get any interest because no one really goes on there to find classics unless if they are super expensive rare cars. Out of interest how much do you want for the car because that can also influence it quite a lot.
Kind Regards
Luca

 I think Car and Classic and eBay is your best bet if you are after a rhd car.
 What model are you after? An early Italian one or are you happy with one made in Poland too?
 They definitely don't seem to pop up as often as they used to.

Car & Classics is probably the number 1 site in the UK, but eBay is pretty good too, though you need to spend time sorting the 'proper' classics from the wannabe cars that are really only fit for banger racing. Consider too Classic Cars for Sale which is probably the second most popular UK site.

And don't overlook the auction houses. Although they frequently advertise *some* of their stock on Car & Classic, they don't generally advertise every item they are handling. The major ones are Brightwells and Bonhams, and there are loads of other smaller ones. Look here for a better list: https://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/auctions.

Then there are local dealers - near to me in Sussex there are Nutley Prestige and Sussex Classics, but most areas have one or two dealers within a reasonable distance, and these dealers often will advertise only on their own web sites.

Lastly, don't forget Gumtree. Generally cars on here are right at the bottom end of the market, but don't forget many people would not regard the 126 as a classic but merely a rusty old heap they want rid of for fifty quid. It doesn't happen often, but you *can* find some real gems on Gumtree from sellers who don't appreciate what they have in quite the same way that you or I might do  ;)

Oh sorry i miss read, thought you wanted to sell. In that case then i think what the others said is the most best thing to do.
