I take it you are talking about the 60's & 70's one not the cinquecento from the 90's ?
I had a 126 a couple of decdes ago & it was an excellent chuckle, flat out everywhere & no need to use the brakes. I'd buy a 500 as a toy, but I'd be a little unfair to depend on it.
Usual problems from that era, rust, rust & more rust. (Panels are all available). A lot of them have 650cc 126 engine & box fitted, and the 126 (aircooled) is a great donor fine for most mechincal spares.
Anything below 1,000 is a restoration,
2000 - 1500 for respecable
