OK! You asked for it - Cinquecento Sporty

Well, after numerous requests here's my little A-B car.

Got fed up looking for Polo's, plus they were asking far too much for what is an old car now. Nothing against them but there was never any about in what i call superb condition.
Well this little Cinquecentoi Sporting is!

Piccy's taken today, just after I've washed, waxed and cleaned it inside and out!









Just not really keen on these pinky/red light clusters at the back, but they are standard on sportings.












4 Bag's of shopping is just about all you'll get in the boot!


Complaints about it not being a VW, please kindly inform Admin.............Oh that's me!

i had a sequento or what every it is as a lone car

great car until you wack the brakes on. it would instantly turn at near 45 degrees.

how i didnt die in that car ill never know. fun to drive!

 

Autotrader, thankfully.
Spotted it before it went out in the Friday Magazine.
So phoned up for it and he held it from Thursday to the Saturday.

Nice bloke in his 50's. Bought it for his Mrs to drive the 1 mile to work and back.

All the rest had high mileage and were going for about the same price and higher.

Advertised at 1750, got it for 1650 Bargain me thinks!!

Got a nice Cobra alarm on it as well, more bloody mod cons than when i bought my Scirocco !!!
Electric Windows, Central Locking, Sunroof, Immobiliser blah blah blah

 

I got to know, how sporting is it?

 

OOOh dear, Fix
It
Again
Tomorrow

My mate's M reg fiat van went for scrap last year. Put about a gallon of waxoyl in it or it'll disappear

Such a fun little car, very nippy!

Only a 1.1i - 54BHP!

DON'T CRASH.

Not my scene but if you are happy thats cool, definetly a handy run about. Mind you why does the drivers door look a different colour? Cheap car though, 1650 for a 1996 - nice one.

Thanks for the advice Mike, I plan..........not to

It has an Airbag at least, don't know if you can make it smaller than a Mini!

 

I noticed that to Mike but it isn't a different colour.
Just how it came out.

Its a 1997, not bad eh?

 

u gonna lower it?

 

Ermmmm, no.

Not gonna spend any really money on it to be honest.

It is just an A-B car for work.
The Scirocco still has the pride of place in the garage and always will.

Anyway, Summer will be here and I'll be spending more money at the DropZone. So money will be spent jumping out of perfectly good aeroplanes !!!

Once I pass my AFF and get my Cat.8 Qualification, all I'll need to buy is my rig and I'm complete YAY!!!!!
