79 air cooled 126 for sale. 12 months mot & uk registered

[Tommybsmith]

Hi everyone, iv finally found time to sort the 126 out & get it registered.
I'm sure most of you know the history of the car from here but i'll put a link up for everyone else.

I'm hoping for a quick sale once its registered (mot booked tomorrow, registration to follow straight after)

Anyone interested? Open to realistic offers.

Since iv had it iv replaced the kingpins, suspension, completely rebuilt the engine due to an oil pump failure leading to engine seizure & replaced starter motor cable.

Good luck with the sale, Tommy, that is a beautiful car...although are you really sure you want to sell !?!

[Tommybsmith]

Cheers Bar, it is a great car & I'd love to keep it but I never get chance to use it unfortunately.
Iv got a 9 month old daughter who takes up all my spare time at the mo which I wouldn't change, oh & my missis takes up all my time that isn't spare ha!

I'm hoping it will sell to an enthusiast on here rather than ebay.

Any idea what they're selling for at the mo?

[Tommybsmith]

Any offers?

It looks to be such a nice car it deserves to sell for a good price...

Tommy, I'd give eBay a go, take some quality pictures against a great backdrop either rural or in the city somewhere with your car all cleaned up and highlight the selling piints like the tax and MoT.  Yes eBay can be difficult at times but it's a great way to reach a volume market quickly and I'd be amazed if it didn't sell first time.

I'd start the auction at your lowest price with no reserve and see where it gets you.

Either way good luck!

if that was right hand drive I would have bitten your hand off.

Good luck with the sale

[Tommybsmith]

Great stuff thanks for the replys guys.
I'll keep you updated with my sale.
shouldn't be long now.
Gonna be a shame to see it go (

same here, if it was rhd i could have been interested.
sitting in the passenger seat and changing gear with right hand is certainly no issue for me, its just the investment thing ( rhd fetching a higher price) and considering the future, if i decided to sell, a rhd is easier to re-home.
looks a great car tho if i may say so myself.
who ever buys will be very happy indeedy

[Tommybsmith]

Hi all, slight problem with mot! A few bulbs, handbrake a bit slack, front offside brake needs looking at. But the major problem is a small bit of welding in the wheel arch which requires the suspension to be removed (2 bolts) to get to.

just thought id put it up on here for 1500 before doing the work.
If no one's interested I'll get it sorted & repost.

cheers guys

LHD on a fiat in my opinion shouldnt present anyone with a problem after all the car is only like 4 foot wide. if you lean your head accross you are probably in the same position as in most modern cars
