The Fiat Uno

[aycee]

Just looked on Ebay .Only one for sale -£2000 albeit low miles.
Looked on Auto trader and.....none.
Looked on PH Classifieds and theres a modified uno turbo in bits.

Ive always had a bit of a soft spot for these little cars.I have 2 standard mk2 turbos and a standard 2 door 45 I was given for bits about 6 years ago but never touched it.I dont use them.Just sit at the back of the garage awaiting their day.
I also brought a mint 30k miler last year for my son for his 16th for £400.Loves it.

These little suckers must be getting pretty rare!
I would say they will start to appear in the classic ads pretty soon.

We used to have a Uno great little thing, there was one for sale in York a month or so back, I think it went for about 300.00 in the end.

I saw that, when I win the lottery I will have lots of old italians including an Uno. Wonderful little cars, lots of character. I used to have a 55 super. I still miss it.

Lovely car with bags of character and room to boot. Would definitely buy another if a decent one came along. my gearbox ran out of oil at around 65K miles though

My mum had a from new Pacer for most of the 1990s. I enjoyed that car, good fun to drive.

I cant remember the last time I saw a Uno or a Tipo!

I saw a pretty good K reg one parked in Tesco Kingsway at Dundee last week...first time I've seen one in a few years!

Edit: Uno that is, not seen a Tipo in probably over 6 years!

i've had a succession of unos over the last 15 years,10 of them, all mk1s, from a 45s to the current 2 turbos:



although my other one is currently in bits waiting for me to sort my schedule out and work on her:



occasionally a pain in the arse, always a hoot

getting harder to find, italian metal from back then was pretty poor, and not that well protected, so a pile of dust was generally what most owners found in the morning, but occaionally, when the stars line up:





as for the tipos, well the white one did run once at oulton with a sedicivalvole...

I have 2 1990s a 1992 k and an M reg,The earlier cars have rust, the 2 latter ones have none.I think they sorted it by 1992.

Bit of a thread resurrection, sorry, but was just browsing this forum.

Amazingly they still build new Fiat Unos in Brazil, they are called "Mille" (meaning 1000, after the engine cc). In fact, we rented one just last week.



We had three back when we lived there, two brand new ones (1.5R and 1.0 Mille) and one very battered used one with odd river seat, all of them worked great and never had any issues.

This is how most of the Irish ones ended up! Had mine out for a blast a few weeks ago. Great little cars.

[Wacky Racer]

I had a brand new Uno around 1988, great little car.......
