1975 Fiat 126

Story and History

1975 Fiat 126 - 10.282 miles since new!

The second time we have the pleasure of this little Fiat - her last owner purchased her from us on a whim - basically he fell in love with her; not a difficult thing to do

He is a very well known international hotel owner and whilst he has used her from time to time for journey's around town he has only amassed another 60 odd miles in the 2 years since he took her away

She is in truly amazing condition for her age, and we feel this must be the best in the UK - we are truly lucky to have unearthed a truly astounding little car

The 126 was the successor to the 500 and was introduced in 1974, and ours is one of the very early ones to hit the road in the UK

The first owner kept her until 2000 and 6.000 miles with a log, delightfully hand written in a very flowing style, outlining routine maintenance and mileage during the 25 years of ownership

Also kept within the folder is every item from the book pack and more - instruction booklet, dealer listing, warranty and service booklet, anti rust warranty (this was carried out when brand new by the supplying Fiat Dealership, Leedhams of Haxby, Yorkshire), and in 1986 a further rigorous application of Waxoil was applied at 8.120 miles, sales brochure, price list, type approval certificate dated 21 / 02 / 1975 and various other bits n pieces

Since 2000 there have been 3 other keepers and the mileage has now risen to 10.155

Her last owner, from Scotland, has also presented her at the prestigious Borders Vintage Automobile Club where she won a nice large red rosette for 1st place

The paintwork, interior trim, luggage compartment and engine bay are all absolutely original, almost unmarked and the little 594cc engine, producing an impressive 23bhp according to the brochure, roars into life at the turn of the key

As we mentioned above, surely there isn't a better 126..........
