Hi Guys

Yes it was on ebay and i just drove it back yesterday back home at 50 mph on the Motorway. The engine need some TLC, `the body work and the interior is really good, The color is the big let down but i have plans to put it back to it's original color ie: primerose yellow or Polish blue.

The paint work is pretty good sadly it's Nato matt green like ...a tank !! OOopppss

It is actually not that bad as it was done professionally. it would look better with chrome bumpers but i don't think there is any on the market..

Just make sure to use a Polish polish, to keep the Polishnes of the car Polish, once the whole Polish car had been polished...  :D :D :D [-/

 :) I decided I needed to give my 1972 Fiat 500L a good shake down run to test it for reliability so just back from a two & a half day 950 kms run down to St Austel in Cornwall for a mates Birthday party. Went through Honiton as it happens , I was starving hungry so found a chippy on the main drag. Sat back in my car to have a munch , lady in the chippy loves Italian cars by the way , but a cool looking matt green Fiat 126 drove past , reg G606 *** but it dissapeared before I could get after it  ::)
Could there be loads of them in Honiton ?

I actually love that colour  :oops:

Chrome bumpers would set it off nicely, and perhaps a couple of small Italian flags above the headlights  [-/
