Description
I purchased this little red seicento last august from a classic car specialist. The original owner from new who had known the garage had unfortunately passed away. And the specialist acquired this vehicle to be their daughter's first car. However, when she came of age to drive, she became a biker. So the little red nugget became mine and required light recommissioning as it was in storage for 12+ years!
in my time of ownership i have done the following:
new febi timing belt & tensioner
new radiator & coolant flush
new varta battery
new mann air filter
oil service - shell helix hx7 engine oil & oem filter
new oem fuel filter
rev counter replaced
door weatherstrips replaced
yellow side mirrors - to highlight the abarth colours since the red ones were faded
abarth bonnet emblem
paint correction
momo leather steering wheel - rare factory optional extra, slightly larger than stock, and compliments the non-power assisted steering

an original rust-free example that has been looked after. The seicento is a strong reliable city car built to take on the toughest of italian roads. Weighs only just shy of 3 quarters of a tonne! And handles like a dream with cheap running costs. The pre-facelift sporting shares the same spi engine with the cinquecento and comes with no abs, power steering, or airbags! Making this no-frills model an ideal first car into classic car motoring. Priced to sell, and first to view will be happy :)
