The Exterior.

Nice looking,...clean,...and attractive without being a show car. It's appeal will span all who've taken the time to look at it because it's a nice little Fiat. There are some micro dings here and there,...but it's a very straight car. Please notice the passengers side rear wheel arch,...it has a couple of bubbles and there is also one on the drivers arch,...both pictured.

Again,..a very nice looking car,...but with flaws.

The Interior.

Rugs are nice,...all but the drivers chair bottom is original,...it had split mildly at the seams,....so we had the seat bottom replaced. The passengers side seat belt is frayed,..but will still hold you in. The rear seat is nice,..the roll bar has a few scratches,...but again,...a little character line here and there is nice to see sometimes:)

Faults and all,...a nice place to sit and be seen. It's clean,...smells like Tiramisu` and still sweet given it's age and level of originality.

Mechanically.

Terrific....I'd drive it anywhere. She's cold natured,....but once she's up,...she'll go all day. The engine is quiet,..has no odd noises. It runs cool,..it's well tuned and I'd say..."Actually Reliable" . I like the way this car comes together mechanically. The clutch is healthy,..no grinding in and out of gears,...just a good little car.

Road Manners.

It's Tight,...it handles well and it'sfun to drive. The previous owner traded this to us after years of tinkering on it. (No Offense Pat,...Mechanical Engineers don't "Tinker" I know.)

Anyway,...Pat and his wife drove it here to trade (His last Run in it:) and hit 100 mph. That's quite a statement if you knew these two people,...He's not a risk taker (Engineers almost never are) and she's too cute to put in a dangerous situation. So,...the car must be a good one!

Expectations.

Keep them in check and expect a nice little car with flaws,..but mild ones at that. It's safe,..healthy and attractive.....and solid too. (Excellent floors and trunk wells) You could fly in and drive it home no matter the distance.
