The Appeal

The Giannini-tuned Fiat 126 is one of the most charming Italian microcars of its era. Giannini's performance modifications elevated the humble 126 into something altogether more spirited, and these variants have become increasingly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of small-capacity Italian machinery.

This 1979 example has been in its current ownership since 2021 and has since benefited from a light conservative restoration. Holding a valid Italian Revisione until April 2028, it is described by the vendor as ready to enjoy, making it a tempting proposition for anyone seeking an entertaining and increasingly collectible classic.
