    My first car that I kept any longer was a Fiat Uno -87, paid 500 € in 2004. Spent 800 € for spares and repairs right after purchase but then it served me well for 4 years an 60.000 km. A great peppy little car! Got 400 € when I sold it, still in good condition.

    Everybody needs to own a Cinquecento at some point in their life (the proper little boxy one) , I've just purchased my 3rd sporting and I absolutely love it (again).

    Well done both love the cinquecento I remember my dad having one as a courtesy car when we had our Tipo diesel from 1994-97
    Always loved the cinquecento such a cute little car but very roomy and great for around town!
    The unleaded fuel sticker is correct for the car they were fitted from new! Look forward to seeing more adventures on this little car suddenly they are so rare now

    I bought a diesel Clio four years ago for £500. It had high mileage but I knew the owner and it had a good service history (servicing etc done by the book). It has now done over 200,000 miles and still going ‘strong’ . Never let me down 🙂.

      My 1997 899s doesn't drink any oil but it does weep around the rocker gasket. I've had it 6years and it's a hobby for me. These engine's are very hardy and last much better than the 1108cc fire units.
