It's been ages since posting an update on Vinny.
I hadn't touched vinny most of the year, I had a son in August so most of this year has been spent concentrating on him and Vinny has just been left behind.
So, come early October I got a message off of Fiat Motor Club GB asking if I was willing to display him at the NEC classic car show. So I had just under a month to sort him out, it didn't take much, just a battery charge, check on timing and oil top up and he was ready to go!
One weekend on display and his back under cover now until the new year. Or if I get some serious snow I may take him out for a little RWD slow fun wink

Motor magazine did a road test in the 1980s of a De Ville edition 126, with a matching specially designed caravan! Incredible to think that anyone thought the 126 was capable of towing a caravan of any description.

I wonder if any were actually sold/survive?
Alot did especially over in Poland. They have a gathering in Warsaw and there are quite a few that arrive with a little caravan in tow!
