Does this represent value?

Assuming the mileage is genuine of course.....

I bought one of these in 1998 for £400!

Well according to an ad I found it’s 500quid cheaper than last month… looks fun to be fair, not going to see many of them around.

I would hazard a guess that the mileage is since the restoration, rather than since new. I've seen this a number of times where they 0 the odometer following a restoration.

I would want to see some fairly comprehensive documentation of the restoration before making a decision on it.

Does look nice though and could be fun for a while.

No, it's a total POS, these always were, particularly this late vintage, they overheated and cylinder heads were replaced more frequently than engine oil. This is totally wrong too, should have plastic bumpers and side strip, it's been retro'd (terribly)

[Mr Tidy]

It looks like it could be quite fun - small Fiats always used to thrive on being thrashed whenever possible!

[Sheetmaself]

Mine didn’t. The lights turned off if you steered too harshly in one direction and had to turn the other way to get them back on again.

A lifetime ago I had one of these as a first car. I didn't keep it long before moving to a MK2 Escort. Felt like a Ferrari in comparison. Even with a huge rose tint I'm not sure I could ever look back and think 20 odd bhp was fun.

I recall these were free if you bought a Croma at one point.

Hard to think of a worse way to spend £6k

Can't resist adding this 126-faced "thing" to the thread

The current bid of £510 seems already quite a lot of money for that, especially as it's not even road legal until an SVA is passed (!)
