Fiat 126 wanted Tunbridge Wells area
« on: August 24, 2011, 12:19:15 AM »
Basically I am looking for a fiat 126 in the T wells area that must be running and have mot. I have around £400 to spend. Ideally want one before Xmas so please post up anything of interest.

Regards
Oli

Hi Oli , you may get lucky with that sort of money but the way prices have gone over the last couple of years you will probably have to part with a lot more of folding stuff to get a runner with a current MOT.

Told him yesterday a 1999 one in London for £350, looks very tidy.

I agree though £400 with MOT and tax is going to be tough. Most decent RHD now over the £1000 mark.

Buy the best one available. It will cost a lot more to bring a not so good one to that standard. If a car looks a bit tatty on the outside due to not being looked after it has far far more trouble below that is unseen. You will spend a fortune on repairs and bus tickets. This is my experience from owning classics. Looking back I can't believe the "bargains" I've spent money on.
If you can get one from a 126 club owner you can't go to far wrong.
