Here is a 1973 Fiat 128 Coupe, moving pictures and a start up. Nice colour, wheels definitely not to my taste but has the originals as well.



Another Fiat 128 Video from the USA, but does feature the car's best feature...its parpy exhaust, not that well shown off in a static start up and tick over, but this vid starts at the relevant point.

Currently qualifying for this thread but I suspect a promotion may be in the offing!! One for the true enthusiast who wants to get back to basics: :-D

I could be so tempted :wink: It's possibly a good job I've spent all my money on my house and have nothing left to spend on cars...

That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it... Truth is, if I did, one of mine would have to go and I can't bear to part with either...

An often forgotten member of the Mini family because of the existence of the Cooper and Cooper S I believe, however personally I quite like the 'Clubman' nose and combined with the colour and condition makes this a very attractive car: :-D

Youngest daughter had one. I remembered it with wood on it like the Minor estate.

Just like this one.

Wrong again.
As was me thinking that the Clubman was only an estate, not a saloon too.
Shows how much notice I take.

Oh yes, that yellow one is rather lovely and the orange one even better as it will transport bikes and running kit :)

Featured in the FCF already this just sold this morning for £6,000 hammer price. Rarity, outstanding condition if you watched the video.

I'm no great fan of them but I'm not surprised... The 2CV market is very strong and they continue to be appreciating assets...

I'd rather a 2CV over an old Roller any day... I'm even less of a fan of those old barges...

A chance to own a mid engined sports car for sensible money. Some say you aren't a true petrol head if you've never had a mid engined machine!! :-D

Guilty as charged m'lud :roll:

Unless they make a mid-engined AX (or Picasso) that situation is unlikely to change ;)

A mid engined AX strikes me as a simple operation. Just drive an ordinary one into a concrete wall. :-D
