Nice idea but a bit silly.Just a toy but a very dangerous one.......original brakes????
Also you will soon lose it when you try to park or turn around as it has no reverse gear............is that legal?

I think this would surprise you more if it passed you down the road

Anyone who wasn't deaf would be able to tell it was not a standard fiat from the noise of it? Fiat 126's don't sound like 1000cc Yamahas.

...THIS... on the other hand:-

Austin Mini z car (1984)

Properly sorted (and it's a Mini) - what's not to like?

Still, at 11k, I think I'll give it a miss.


And lol at the "9.98 litre" (bit over zealous with his decimal point positioning.)

10k ?????????? You can buy a chassis ready for an R1 engine brand new for 3k then buy a crashed r1 for 1.5k and you have a faster, better handling better looking vehicle for half the price, why on earth would you pay 10k for that.

Sounds gutbustingly fast but I would feel a bit uneasy in it if I was really winding it up!
