Nothing wrong with that I run a slightly larger version Fiat through the week myself... I was looking for one of those originally but failed to find one 
Give it a couple of weeks and it will pay for itself in fuel savings alone then it will be a freebie supermarket carparks here we go !!
If you were a bit closer I could be interested in it when you were finished with it

aye, as it needed a new battery (£55 from halfords - i know i know, was desperate ok!!), and a new o/s rear light cluster (£5 from a scrappie
), oh and a simple indicator bulb....
the dude knocked £250 off the asking price.
admittedly my uncle who works in the car trade did the haggling, and we were walking out this guys house at one point, until he gave in
but man +3 demanding kids = xmas bargain for chocolate_o_brian.
honestly, its a lovely thing to drive. long throw on the gear change and a spongy clutch, but it has character.... sod it, hes called "oliver" now

Remember second class riding is much better than first class walking.
Nice motor, seems to me that a few weeks / months in that will make you appreciate the Scoob all the more and we can do our usual substandard repair and get away with it.............
Good Luck Andy, David

An old neighbout had one and would always park it in the middle of a gap big enough to get two cars in! 
Being in the trade I knew how crap the handbrakes are on them so I used to back up to it gently and then push it up the road till my car would fit in the gap too!

its not healthy,did a few speed trials (if you can call it that) best 0-60 was 15.5 seconds,best quarter mile was 26 secs and as for 0-100,never in a million years,seems to hit a brick wall @ 75 but with no engine its still quicker than the scoob just now 
at least it was cheap,gets from a to b (slowly) and ive saved a fortune on fuel since the scoobs been away
