No badges to give it away, so answers on a postcard! 36k miles, 1 owner from new (1982), aside from a bit of corrosion on the underside of the passenger door lip, it is mint! Oh, it needs a wheel refurb too, but I kept a set back from my last one... So, short of an F1 style pit stop, sorting out a faulty petrol guage and most importantly, taking the lid off, I hope to get a couple of weeks of motoring out of her before the council throw a load of anti-fiat powder all over the roads! Picking her up next week and cannot wait!

Thanks guys, looking forward to collecting her next week. Possum -I have a few spare centre caps for the wheels, but I agree, they are very difficult to come by now... at sensible money anyway. When you mention the bumpers, which ones do you mean? The 1300 or the 1500? I will get some more pictures posted once I have got her home and cleaned up - the cream interior is a bit grubby, but in otherwise good condition. Its only last month I sold a steel header tank and two original holdalls

Very nice. I've been tempted to buy one myself on quite a few occasions. But would have to do a lot of research first, really don't know much about them at all. When I bought my first one, I didnt know much either, but the club is very knowledgable and they are pretty easy to work on mechanically. The tinworm is the main issue, with some areas much more expensive to sort than others i.e. the rear strut tops. There are still a lot of good ones out there, they are a hoot to drive, comfy and loads of luggage space

I had mine back in 1981 so was only a year old. Such great fun with fantastic cornering. I went on honeymoon in it aswell,just as i was about to pull away from the wedding reception my mate opened my door a poured a whole packet of rice crispies over my head. Bloody stuff was turning up months later ! Sadly it had to go when the Mrs fell pregnant. Still time to get another though.

Identical to mine that i bought in the late eighties - seriously flash when friends were driving around in morris marinas and battered escorts. Six years of patching up, cardboard and duck tape before it fell to bits. I still have a box of owners club mags (possibly issue 6 onwards) if you want them.

I went through all the patching up/filling painting phase with my last one, by the time I got rid, the floor pan was very much like Fred Flintstones car! The box of club mags would be great, thank you. I have got quite a few from around 2005 - 2008, but they are always worth a read. PM to follow shortly
