Lots of lovely readers cars on here but how about putting them all in one place?

I’ll start. After a long love affair with everything from a Mk1 Panda 4x4, a couple of Seicentos (including the Schumacher, the only car I’ve ever regretted losing, a brilliant 500 Twinair Plus, an Outstanding Panda Twinair Cross right up to my current Seicento Sporting Abarth & 595 Competizione, I’m a huge fan.





What have you got?

Cheers,

Simon

That’s Abarth only. Trying to be more inclusive.

  • Abarthisti tend to deny the FIAT aspect. I don’t understand that TBH!!

Only the teenagers on the Abarth owners club deny it.

I’d say Sei because it’s everything about PH I love however we have matching cars which is also cool if we can find each other.

Here's my one
Standard sporting with the electric webasto sunroof. Had it 8 years now and she is on 18k from new with just one little old lady owner before me ! It's been off the road now for a couple of years as I had no real use for it but couldn't bear to part with it. It's been to Le mans in 2014 and I got some funny looks whizzing down the autoroute with the roof back. Planning one getting it back on the road next year and giving it a overhaul and enjoy using it again.

Cheers
Tom

Mine is the red one in this picture.



500S, it seemed like the logical replacement when my C-class needed replacing. biggrin

Can't find any pictures, but we previously had a Seicento Sporting (yellow, obviously) which we got for my wife to learn in - that was much more fun than it had any right to be...

Noticed the OP dropped out of the Goodwood SS but a Seicento did turn up.



No idea who's it is.

Great little thread (pun intended). Had a few Seicento Sportings many moons ago and loved every single mile in them. A couple were standard, a couple of Abarth versions and a red Schumacher Edition which is the only one I have a photo off.

Favourite two was the pre facelift Abarth I had in grey with orange bumper/side flashes and the red Schumacher which I had at the same time as my first of many Caterhams (will try and dig out the picture later....)

thumbup

Would love another Seicento Abarth or a nice Cinquecento Sporting.......maybe with a couple of subtle tweaks but still looking standard.

Please post this on the owners club to annoy everyone!

I didn’t even realise there was an official magazine.
