I can remember seeing this car at a show when I was about ten and dad was working for Lotus. I loved it. :think: Maybe that's why I like small Fiats. :)

This would be on my driveway tomorrow if it weren't for my not buying cars from Ebay for Lent thing (and work screwing things up).




Got a Rover 820 Turbo sat on my mates driveway for £200 so max the car out at about £250 that's £549 to spend on a front mounted intercooler and a bucket. :)

Could be interesting with a decent engine. Sell the 250 and maybe use the one from this.....



Should be able to sell the frame and, forks, wheels, tank and seat for about £500-£600

Would streach the £999 rules a bit though. :think:

Someone else have a go.

Each month we feature an eclectic mix of affordable performance cars, great driving adventures and world-class technical features for the DIY tuner.

Everyone who works on the magazine is a dyed-in-the-wool car enthusiast and this is reflected in the cars we drive and the topics we write about. Whether it be fast road, track-day or grass roots motorsport you’ll find it in PPC. Our editorial team is headed up by well known editor Will Holman. Will has a deserved reputation for his ’stick a V8 under the bonnet’ attitude to life and has had (and crashed/ had stolen/ rusted away) enough cars to fill a monthly magazine on his own. His editorial team is stacked with experience with the likes of Dave Walker (speciality engine management), of the sadly-missed Car and Car Conversions magazine, David Vizard, the legendary engine tuning guru, and Kevin Leaper (speciality buying cars in pubs) – ex technical editor of Practical Classics. Have a look at the Staff Cars and features to give you a flavour of PPC but for the real thing get along to your local WH Smiths or independent newsagent.
