Was just about to post this - why, just why would anyone do that?!

Not to mention the interesting paintwork...

A normal 126 will fit a MWB/LWB Fiat Ducato or similar. Or a transit van with sliding doors. You will just need to exit through the hatchback for a bis. Or will only just be able to get out through the doors.

 Yaeh I know they fit inside a van as we`ve done it loads of times , but I meant a small van, something like a Fiat Doblo pick up. It would be quiet funny to transport it to the shows on the back of one of these.

Good to have the additional rear passengers so the paint doesn't chip off the roll bar when they crash
