Hello :-) I bought a 126 in Poland. Drove it straight back to England.
« on: January 10, 2013, 04:16:28 PM »
Hello everyone.
I bought a bright orange 1998 126 elx in Poland on Sunday. Drove him straight back to England.
What a great little car!
This is my first non-German car. I'm susprised and amazed by how good it is.
I have a VW and Porsche import business.
But I'm now in love with the Polish Fiat 126!

I'll post a pic and info once I've worked out how.
Cheers  :)

47,000km, one owner, always garaged, zero rust!
Better condition than the one we saw in Krakow transport museum the day before  :)
I'm a happy man. Great, fun little car.

 Welcome to the forum.
 It`s great to hear the car drove all the way from Poland without any problems. How long did the journey take you?
 Any more photos of the car?

Cheers. I agree. They are brilliant cars.
I'll post more pics ASAP. I can't work out how to re-size them on my phone... Images too large to upload.

Great video. Do you know what engine the 126 was running?
We left Krakow on Monday am. Arrived Henley 6 am Wednesday. Stayed overnight in Leipzig.
Cruised at 85kph. No problems. 1650km.

Excellent. I have a 1970 Vw camper with a 3.0 Ford V6.  Perhaps I could squeeze it in the Fiat!  :o
