I dont own it.

I found ithe pics on an old hard disk of mine at work. It's the result of a 'right click save' I must have done years ago. I knew I had it, just had to dig it out.

I've always fancied a classic 500 or even 126 as a fun car.

Got on of these on order as a company car in black. Will be here second week of January. I think something like 500 a year will be brought in through 12 dealerships or something. Reminds me of this little beast.





Was owned by a Friend of my Bosses who used to work for Pininfareera. He designed it in thier workshop and wind tunnel and think did 0-60 in sub 6 seconds and had an all alloy 1400 engine or something and this was back in the late 70's

I think the original lumps are all alloy, much like the old Reliant 3 wheelers, its all about power to weight.

Hillman imps are cheaper though, if rear engine fun is your thing.
