Loving the black little thing, absolutely beautiful... [-/ [-/
A q or two: Is the color original (looks stunning

)
What size are the tires? they look a bit "chunky" on the pics, but it could be just me...

Anyway, hope shell keep you smiling for a long time...

p.s. hope you've now realized how much fun the 126 is compared to the ever so average seicento

It used to be that sort of off white, beige colour I think. But the respray has been done very well from what I can tell, only issue I now have is that I've spotted a small dent by the FIAT badge on the front so gonna have to do something about that

The Scirocco is my bro's, he also has a Mk2 Golf which he is in process of upgrading with various things which are far too technical for me

I'm not sure about the tyres, I haven't looked at the dimensions and it's too cold to go outside just now

Just so we can all see it in its full glory I bring you the joys of quote then copy and paste from the fiatforum....

Quote from: Eklipze3k;1907926

Bought myself a new toy over the weekend. My phone doesn't really do it justice so will get some better pictures soon.

It's a 1983 FIAT 126 652cc Aircooled, with just shy of 31k on the clock. Not a patch of rust to be seen anywhere and the engine is beautiful. Only things needing looked at are the brakes and the choke, but she starts drives and stops which are the 3 most important things in my book :thumb:

It's provisionally named SR-71 for now. Drove it back from Strichen yesterday (about 1.5hrs) and couldn't stop smiling the full way, was getting looks from everyone!
