Ive thought about it before but now my 126 is for sale for sure! I just dont use it enough and really feel that it needs a new owner who will enjoy it more.
1987, aircooled, blue, just over 44,000 miles. No rust, very shiny with 12" minilite style alloys. Loads of new parts over the past couple of thousand miles... leaf spring, shocks, wheel cylinders, tyres etc. Has MOT till April 2008 and taxed till end October. Its down on the south coast near New Milton and I would like around Ã‚Â£1000, but its open to offers and will soon be on the ebay

This time Im definately selling, its time to move on Im afraid.

I would hang on, looks like it's worth a lot more than a grand!
If you have a price you would be happy with you can see if they can up their offer.
Good luck with the sale! It's sad I know to sell your pride and joy I was in exactly the same situation with my 500 but sold it in the end

I reckon a grand is about right, its not an ultra low mileage one and has a few marks. The sunroof and wheels are obviously a bonus. Im in serious talks with someone about a sale Monday... they dont fetch much more, maybe Ã‚Â£1200 tops for an FSM like mine, but a straight sale is better than waiting anxiously for a true ebay bidder! To be honest 1k is fair both to me and a buyer, Id be happy with that.

LOL, I doubt it, just a bit dissolushioned with the Fiat scene now. Not enough people come out, it gets lonely showing your car on its own and its been that way in the UK for ages now. Was different a few years back, before the web people used to come out and meet you and see the cars, now they stay in and type and look at photos.

mmnn,never could understand that,ive read comments of ''but its a 100 miles there an back!!'' etc......i would love to go to the shows,my brother does all the MVT shows in the UK,costs him a fortune in ferry fares tho.....

id just love to have the chance to drive a 100 miles and meet the guys...if any there of course!!!!......the web enhances ownership but destroys comradship......
