Hello!
« on: November 06, 2009, 02:16:45 PM »
Hi Folks,

I've fancied a 126 for many years and have fond childhood memories of one and at last we've just bought our little treasure.

Found on ebay with a rather poor write up, we weren't exactly sure what we'd bought!

She's a 1989 BIS and other than having a hole in the exhaust and needing a new tyre, I think we've been quite lucky. The interior has seen better days and she needs slight bodywork attention, but nothing serious at all.

We've only had her for a fortnight but have already enjoyed a couple of great trips out, she's as much fun to drive as I'd hoped! We call her Millie, Reg MLE, hence the username.

This is a great forum and we both look forward to aving a good look around.

Hi Caron,

welcome to the forum.

congrats on your new purchase!

you will have to get some pics up here for us to see it.

Has it got an MOT?

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the welcome.

The old girl has a full MOT, not that it counts for much as she's been playing up for the last few days.
She has a very lazy spark and seems to be suffering from fuel starvation (we think!) air bubbles in the fuel line - She's something of a work in progress!

I've added a couple of picies to the garage.

Cheers,

Caron
