Last year I bought a 19000 mile one owner Sporting, with, wait for this....a knob that goes all the way. An original sunroof cover. That had never been opened. The original spare dust cap and Allen keys still in the ashtray. Spare wheel and still wrapped Jack in the boot. And some original transit plastic still in place, which I'm extremely protective of as people get in the passenger side. The original plan was to keep it for a year as I have a classic Alfa, and find a Panda 100hp, but I have fallen madly in love with Little Ferrari. I'm planning a Sportex exhaust and K & N filter. Steel grey and not a rattle or drip of oil or water in a year
My son had 1 exactly the same even with the electric wabasto factory fitted sunroof but his was the sporting version not the abarth, I even resprayed his alloys black Coz he didn't like the silver colour, it had a very low 21,000 miles on the clock when we originally bought it for £775, it was in vgc, he had it for about 3 years as his first car and only changed the tdc sensor which is common to play up in that time so very reliably, he needed a bigger car so now has my punto sporting 6 speed which has way more power Coz I bought a 595 competition 500 abarth, so we're both Happy 😊 now 👍🇮🇹
The heater issue: The heater knob pushes a piano wire through a brake cable type outer sheath. This sheath is held by a metal clip in the far end near the valve. When this clip gets loose by ageing plastic and rust. The sheath moves counter to the piano wire and diminishes the effect of turning the heater knob. The solution is to reinforce the anchor point with a quality zip-tie. But you have to take the cardboard heater blower assembly apart to reach it.
That crash happened for a reason mate, this car is a beauty. All respect to super seiecento. Just think that little car got you into these . Fun unique little motors. Its legend will live on haha. I say you put your super seicento youtube logo on the back window with r.i.p under it. And the number plate on display in you boot
You have a new subscriber :) I'm from Poland and I have Seicento 1.1 MPI too. It is mix of Sporting and Abarth (exterior and interior), with black roof just like your new red one :D I love it and I am planning to do sth with performance, just a little bit; tuning, swap from Punto or sth different... I do not really know. Let me know if you want. I'll enjoy any tip from you, guys
I believe its not an abarth version as I'm pretty sure they don't exist. All the abarth stuff was optional from the dealership. I have the same car in yellow the sunroof is fun
You’re owning a really rare version from Seicento! That sunroof is so nice and you’re really lucky because normally it never works lol I only had Fiat’s since I have lessons! Just love that little cars, specially the Cinquecento ( that I own 1 at the moment ) but I had some Seicento’s before and they’re really nice and easy to drive. Will you keep that one or you pretend to sell it in the Future? I’m from Portugal!!! 🇵🇹
The heater not switching to hot means the head is going to go bang. I'm joking but that's what mine did. I've only been offered £75 to scrap it. Could you do a video on commonly replaced parts? Or which parts to keep before I scrap it? Just a suggestion if you were looking for ideas.
Get that Abarth sorted.....that is such a rare car,Aircon and webasto sunroof are rare as fook on little cars If you are gonna sort the clutch/gearbox anyway...KEEP THE RED 1!!! super seicento 3.0
Btw I'd look into just changing the reverse gear because a whole box will cost way too much for such a simple fix. I imagine the clunking is a tooth that's ever so slightly bent or worn out
Awesome car! but one thing bothers me. Why would someone have air conditioning in that car, when you have ALL OF THAT air conditioning above your head :D
Very cool! Loving the sunroof on that red model! You sure you don't want to keep the red one for yourself? :P As for the dashcam, that seems a bit elaborate for a temporary setup! I let the wire drop straight down on my dashcam mount to make things easier when I have to move the camera between cars - a handy binder clip on a climate control vent keeps the wire from getting in your way and from moving around as you turn, etc, and also keeps it out of the passenger's way as well!

I figured you'd prefer yellow! :P I was actually having a discussion with a friend about this video yesterday and he said "The red car has better kit and is rarer....why doesn't he keep that one?' and I said 'Nostalgia'. :)
Wow. Love it. With a little tlc you'll have it really sorted. It's a rare car, definitely a keeper.

Good man! Sounds a cracking example 😁

Awesome! Glad to see you're a Fiat family 😁🇮🇹
Awesome ride, once again you have not disappointed. Looking forward to the next instalment!
Thanks man 😁
You got another one! I love your enthusiasm for the love for these small cars
Ha!! Good lad!
I’m 36 and have owned 5 of the buggers since 1999!! Much better than the wife’s S4!

Czerwony rządzi 💪👌👍
My heater knob does the same thing, I have the abarth. My dad's Strada Abarth 130TC used to do the same thing he said. Apparently its cable operated
You can never have enough Fiats in your car..... Welcome to the Abarth family!

Nice red Abarth ;D

Thanks man! Lots of Seicento stuff already on the channel and PLENTY more to come 😁
Just ordered a secondhand abarth spoiler for mine, they are hard to get hold of now
My car has a dent in the drivers door aswell in the exact same place but it's much smaller😂 and I also have the heater problem
The sporting looks good in red too man
Yessssss get in there. Another seicento. Sorry but better colour. And i love the roof.
I want them bumpers obviously in yellow ahah
Very nice unsual seicento :) Greetings from Poland :)
Three people drive Corsas and are salty about it
Phil Atkins 6 now mate, bet they are all limited edition ones 😂
RSYT Ouch, you mean Limited Edition Corsas aren't special?! 😂😂😂
I believe its not an abarth version as I'm pretty sure they don't exist. All the abarth stuff was optional from the dealership. I have the same car in yellow the sunroof is fun
Nice but you should of gone for the Skoda Fabia Monte carlo tech like me. A very fun drive, especially when modified.
Same colour as mine 😁
Yaaaaaay, exellent choice 😀
You’re owning a really rare version from Seicento! That sunroof is so nice and you’re really lucky because normally it never works lol
I only had Fiat’s since I have lessons!

Will you keep that one or you pretend to sell it in the Future? I’m from Portugal!!! 🇵🇹
Do love 'em haha 😁 this one will be looked after once my car is back and my brother will use it when he learns to drive - thanks for watching :D
"don't make fun of me if I stall it with that nackered clutch" excuses, excuses! :p

I'd keep as much as you can, bud - never know when anyone (myself included 😉) might need something!
That's awesome mate! How did you find getting back in one? Bet the 1.1 felt a bit sluggish
Was good to be back with a Sei, but yep, DEFINITELY doesn't feel like mine :P
Get that Abarth sorted.....that is such a rare car,Aircon and webasto sunroof are rare as fook on little cars
If you are gonna sort the clutch/gearbox anyway...KEEP THE RED 1!!!
super seicento 3.0
This one will get sorted and tidied up, but then it's my brother's car 😁
Looks pretty good :)
Oh dear god....not a corsa.......ANYTHING but a corsa 😂😂😂😂
Btw I'd look into just changing the reverse gear because a whole box will cost way too much for such a simple fix. I imagine the clunking is a tooth that's ever so slightly bent or worn out
Not anything. Id rather drive a corsa than any vag
Awesome car! but one thing bothers me. Why would someone have air conditioning in that car, when you have ALL OF THAT air conditioning above your head :D
Very true!
On a rainy hot day? If that ever happens lol
secondmouse getscheese then you get wind deflectors and open your side windows :D
Krzychu Krecik very good comment . Problem solved
How about the one that was teased at the end of the last super Seicento video?
New Project soon come 😉
you should just keep the abarth one and paint it yello or whatever the sun roof is so cool
George Gerrard no
No
Like this more than yellow one 😉
Get out!
What’s wrong with corsa’s? Eh?
You're wheels are on the wrong side tyre patterns are wrong
Take the door off that one and put it on your new one so it’s like the inbetweeners one 😂
Hahahahahaha SUCH an original comment 🙃
Nothing wrong with a Corsa
Just realised faj number plate. Lol
Mate can you sell me the soft top
Fiat seicento (sporting abarth) the best authentic mini cars 🚗 it's no fake ridiculous fiat seicento sporting fake no authentic shit
Please stop buying all the Seicentos! I want one!
Race ya 😉
Very cool! Loving the sunroof on that red model! You sure you don't want to keep the red one for yourself? :P

It is indeed, but I'm dead set on yellow 😁 and that's not a bad idea! May give that a go 🤔
I figured you'd prefer yellow! :P
I was actually having a discussion with a friend about this video yesterday and he said "The red car has better kit and is rarer....why doesn't he keep that one?' and I said 'Nostalgia'. :)
You've hit the nail on the head! It's rare and a nice spec...But it's not, nor will it ever be 'mine'.
coffin on wheels...
Having been in a crash with a 16 wheeler in one, I beg to differ
