eBay Busses. You wait ages for one....

...and several turn up at once.

I've always like the Lancia Y10 (posh Panda). Always top of my £999 search list. I haven't seen one in ages and with the payday fiaries two weeks away two turn up at once.

Typical.

Didn't they come with a little turbo engine??? Smaller than the Uno's version, although i bet the Uno turbo makes it a quick car?

[OilyFingers]

The turbo ie did but you've more chance of finding Silvio Berlesconi's hookers and gin fund down the italian treasury.

On a popular forum for Fiats (whatever could it be called?) I saw an ad for a Y10 FIRE automatic, just in case you have problems with your left leg.

I bought a 750PANDA.... OOpsss! straight on at wet roundabouts!!

Rummaged through a pile of doggies doos, @ West Sleekburn breakers, and liberated a Y10 A.R.B.

Straight on, with a couple of ally 'split' clamps I rustled up, problem solved.

FIAT Forum were all over the idea.... bunch of ***********!!.

well, it was a long time ago

Dad was given one of these as a company car, he soon fitted an SRi130 engine on Webbers instead of the "Bosch crap".

I always thought the Maestro Van was a bit of an underdog. Not as desirable as the Escort Van, nowhere near as quick as the Astramax (when was the last time you saw one of them?). The humble Maestro Van never got the XRV treatment. I think an MG Maestro could donate parts or even the ubiquitous T series conversion, that's okay if you can't find your way out of the box. How about a MGtF rear subframe and running gear with an MGF box and a supercharhed KV6 making a Maestro 6R2 (?). Best of all there would be no need to tart it up so as well as a potential £999 challenger the build could be an awesome stealth weapon.

So I'm looking to make my Fiat fast or buy a fast Fiat for the £999 Challenge.

Damn, that Sei turbo's been on Ebay alot!

Three times that I know of. It gets to within an hour of ending and the seller pulls it because it's "no longer available" (it wasn't high enough and the seller was too tight to spend an extra 12p to set a reserve).

I'd buy it for parts for my Panda.

[Relentless Rob]

So I spent my tax money on a Seicento, rusty Panda, supercharger and the wrong engine. Then these turn up...

Buy both for £795 and put the engine out of in the the back of the other and win the £999 with a twin engined four wheel drive Dedra.
