I was given a new Fiat 126 for my 21st in 1978 - the cost was £1001. It was dove grey and the starter was a lever thing between the front seats and the choke immediately beside it. No frills, air cooled and noisy as hell. I loved it. I didn't think about safety then but it was such a fun wee thing.
I`ve had 3 126`s, they have the highest smiles-per-hp of any other car I can think of, & they are one of the few cars of the 90`s that are worth significantly more now, than they were were new (£2400 new in the early 90`s), which is pretty impressive, & no one would have predicted that 20 years ago!
I would love a 126, my best friend had one as her first car back in the 90's, she had a 1980 652cc air cooled model in blue with a blue/grey interior, I loved it although it was a bugger to start in the winter. I like little cars, I drive a 2011 Smart for two
I bought mine for £399 (I think), it got me around. I'd like anouther, and the Biz has a boot, but 4k? Surely you can et a much better car for that money, although I guess a better car would have higher insurance costs.
We love All the Flippin Bangers. We have sat here and basically in 2 months watched every show I Could find for my Husband on Flippin Bangers. Im just now going through all the shows giving them some LOVE. ❤❤God Bless
Just stumbled across this and Brought back memories. I went to Gibraltar in 1978, and hired one of these out for the week. One day, we decided to take a trip up the rock, got around half way up, and now in first gear, and wasn't getting anywhere. Foot hard on the brakes, and sliding back, rested against a wall, with a 500 foot drop below us. Somehow, managed to spin it round and make our way back down, Scary stuff 😂😂
I loved my 126 from the starting lever to the brake fade it ended up with an abarth engine disc brakes and a peppermint green paint job I had great fun in that car .
Trimmer Guy looked shy and nervous probably a guy like me, who feels safer just being around family and loves working alone. I hate working with others as always ends in some stupid argument lol :D
Guys this version of Fiat 126 is called BIS - is a upgrade version of stock 126 it has biger engine -700CC ( 650 in regular) Engine is liquid cooling (air cooled in reg.)and laing flat, diffrent steering rack, 13"wheels (12" reg) and rear trunk, not only a engine compartment like in regular one:) ( trunk in regular is only on front) This engine is transfered for his succesor fiat chinquacento.
Brilliant! The guys seem to have gotten it spot on this season, making money but also enjoying it too! Loving this season. Always wanted a 126, but I reckon my wife would kill me if another Fiat was to find its way into my garage! 😅
Rear motor from a Mitsubishi PHEV(60+hp) half a leaf Battery about 30kw, deep dish minilite wheels-arches... would be a laugh around tight lanes towns... :)
In Poland the Polish Polski Fiat version is/was called the 'Maluch' (small) and there are still quite a few about. They make good town cars, are OK in the snow...have good ground clearance and can deal with bad roads. If you like fun off road have a look at the Steyr Haflinger military 4x4 version of this car....you may be amazed.
Me thinky the Steyr Haflinger has nothing to do with Fiat/Polski ... It was developed and made for the Swiss & Austrian Armies. Farmers who worked in the mountains also bought them to be used on mountain farms.
Me thinky your English not so good....get someone English to read it to you. You misunderstood. I have owned Pinzgauer...I own Unimog......I see Maluch every day. But I can tell you that a Haflinger engine will fit in Maluch..it is the same Fiat unit only the haflinger is larger capacity and better made.
@@Pinzpilot101 Me thinky YOUR English should have said that in the first place because a Steyr Haflinger has NOTHING to do with a Fiat apart from the engine then. ALL the gearing suspension, chassis is specific to the Haflinger. NOTHING to do with Fiat. Me thinky you do not express yourself correctly. LOL. Cheers mate. Enjoy polluting Nature do you ? What is the consumption of a Unimog ? Pinzgauer = same thing. A good army vehicle, but if you are using them for personal hobby all you are doing is polluting the beautiful nature you so revere. Ever thought about that ? Ciao.
This is far better than wheeled dealers. It’s a change from Mike brewer boasting about himself. And it’s all about me me me me ( him ) Ed China is ok. But you lads seem honest and down to earth. Well done 👍
I had a 1959 Fiat 600D back in the mid 1960s. Fun little car. It had a tiny 4-cylinder engine, and was very quirky indeed. Glad to see your fix-up on the 126.
With the rear seat that tilts back a 45 deg? Handy for getting an old computer monitor home. Say one thing about FIAT, they know how to make a small car.
Good to hear. Are there not many car shows like this down under? Here in England, I watched Outback Car Hunters. I liked the Aussie humour, and the scenery but it lacked details on the restos. I also learnt that you say 'How you going?', which is like our 'you alright?' But never demands a response! 😂
So some people don't like these guys. TUFF Ifind, these videos are enjoyable and useful and educational to the novices if you're jealous of their skills dont watch or is it because you can't put a computer in that tells you the fault 😅😅😅 nothing better than skilled mechanical engineers
@shsh-he5qg I've bought and sold more vehicles than you've had hot dinners. I've walked many times and either been called back or have been telephoned after. By the way, they didn't make £2k profit.
@@slickmouse yeah sure you have big man 🤣 They did the work themselves ! So even if they paid themselves 200 quid each a day ! That’s 1k profit ! But why don’t you show us your many deals you have made millions on ! I’m sure people would be dying to see such a genius like you showing everyone how it’s done
@@Kaspertube513 what’s scripted ? How much they paid for a car, how much they spent and how much they sold it for ? 🤣 I have been buying and selling cars on the side for over 25 years, if you have a bit of knowledge and contacts, you can def make profit from cars without bs… sometimes you can buy a car and that’s finished and make more from selling just the catalytic converter ! And then scrapping the car
Fills the gap, thanks for uploading! I haven't seen season 3. I had a car like this in 1986, I loved it. The circuit breaker could be set monthly. Until now, I didn't know that there was a right-hand drive and, most importantly, a water-cooled engine? The last time I was home, I didn't see a single one. (HU)

I sat in one of these at a motor show. My head was sticking through the fabric sunroof & my legs were wedged each side of the steering wheel with the seat fully back. i'm 5ft 10. DVLA check has this car MOT expired in June 2022.
Trimmer: "What year is the car?". Mechanic: "I think it's early 1980s". Say what? Nowhere near. How can you be a car mechanic and not know when a J reg is from?
First thing I always do, take the doors, boot and bonnet off, stick it three-four feet in the air on chopped down railway sleepers, and take the wheels off. It's ready then to be attacked from all directions. (classic Minis)

Foam back on the headliner is a no go. It will get moist and moist to long so that the roof will actually get heavily rusty! The original 126 from Italy came with a headliner with room for air between the liner and the roof to keep it breathing. Seat well done. But there are new covers on the market. Or just swap the seats. Normally you take out the engine and the gearbox all at ones. The rubbers of the axle/gearbox are most likely leaking oil too. That's a common point to check and change. Block and head are both aluminium so one may wonder why the coolant was that rusty (?). My guess is that there was some oil deposits in the coolant. All that sanding of the rims. Absolutely not necessary. You could have used a paint remover of just sand blasted it. Then some powder coating would do a proper job here. Or just buy another set. Have not seen you checking the steering, brakes, brake fluid, oil change and so many more to be done before selling it for 3800 P/Sterling.
The trimmer looked a bit nervous. Why did they offer more than £1200? Not many Brits know this but the Polish refer to the 126 as Mal-uk not mal-ush as it reads.
Stood at a parts counter in a dealership and a guy was complaining about the cr*p headlights in his new Fiat. The service manager explained that he needed to go to Halfords and buy halogen bulbs! Poor bloke hadn't realised it was a kit car.
