Thought they were quite, stereotypically, unfair to the Uno. They didn't rust, or certainly no more than any other car of their time. They may even have been galvanised, as were the original Panda after a certain year. I had a few of them and remember being blown away by the wee cars space, refinement and ability to cruise at 85mph all day on a tiny engine. Cracking wee cars and well relieved when new, but like anything, progress brings the past into sharp perspective I guess!

I thought the new owner had made a nice job of it. The painted wheels made a big difference to it.Edited by biggbn on Friday 26th April 11:58

Certainly did, unfortunate colour though. My first was an Uno Bianca, white with, I think, white wheel trims, sunroof, loved the Citroenesqe 'pods' for the controls. Second one was a white diesel 1.7, again, comfy, spacious, really frugal, I actually think I might have had another, a kinda aquamarine colour but I can't remember!!
Yeah my wife had a Bianca way back, was a great little car, some sort of tartanesque seats IIRCbiggbn said:

And they weren't just an old dear's car either. We had one when we were first married and took it all the way down to Sorrento and back one summer. Edited by biggbn on Friday 26th April 11:58
