Hello From Leicestershire
« on: February 28, 2011, 06:26:25 PM »
Hi

Just become the proud father of a 1973 126 today. Always wanted a 500 that was about my age (1972) but the prices are silly. I saw Bella and fell in love  :oops:. Hard to drive, noisy, powerless, cramped and techincally "cavemanesque"............... and she's great. Kids think she is great, so does the missus. :D

 Welcome to the forum, and well done with your purchase.
 I`m sure you`ll have lots of fun with her. [-/
 Did you buy the one of eBay, or is it a different one?

Sounds great , sure you guys will have fun  [-/
Probably just as well that you got the 126 rather than the 500, all that extra room, bigger engine , syncro box, more comfey seats ! Just enjoy all that luxury  ;D

Thanks.

The ebay one but outside of ebay, if you get my drift. A few minor bits to sort out on her but, I've got time and desire. The supercharged 650 engine is a joy!..........

Hello and welcome to the forum. If it was the white one pictured, it looks like a minter! I saw it advertised in Car and Classic as well. Enjoy the car!

Thanks. The respray around some of the panel joints is not as good as you'd think although nothing major (I'm just a perfectionist!). But, 37 years old and I've got time to put her right.
