While I'm on an Italian vibe - had one of these at 22, my first proper sports car, rotten as any car I've owned and written off by a drunk Irishman on Kilburn High road frown
Revolting steering wheel aside, and if the owner has kept on top of the rust this could be a good investment long-term.

I don't know why but that ad makes me heave...actually I do know why, steering wheel. NI plate and "frunk".

This one's nicer, although needs recommissioning, no doubt:

It was neither a Lancia or a Fiat 131, it was the 131's bigger brother the 132.

Now, try finding one of those for sale....
Right-o...

And in the interest of completeness regarding mid-large, square-shaped Fiats, as we've already mentioned the 131, the 132 and the Argenta, here's a 130 - no place in this thread other than to look good...

Those Bull Bars are awful. Surely they half the power to weight ratio? Otherwise that looks perfect for my Italian Villa.
I like them. Got to be useful in Italy too!

You squeeze it to pump up the inflatable lumbar support. Press the button on the end to let the air out and deflate it.

I used to get these as rental cars sometimes. Bloody loved them. So comfy, so roomy, quiet, decent sound systems for OEM systems of the time, great mile-eaters for four grown-ups and luggage.

at that price you could learn how to be technical... I suspect a hammer, flate-head screw-driver and adjustable spanner would see you good for most of the jobs! Lovely

My old boss on undergrad student placement (I was 20 or so, he was 23ish) had a GT6. Great spanner-y things to tinker with. Fortunately at that age it was comparatively easy to crawl in and out of, not sure about nowadays!
