THE BACKGROUND
The 127 was produced by Italian car manufacturer Fiat from 1971 to 1983. It was introduced in 1971 as the replacement for the Fiat 850. This was Fiat's first supermini-sized hatchback. The 127 featured a state-of-the-art transverse-engine/front-wheel-drive layout, with the transmission mounted on the end
of the engine.
The car was one of the first of the modern superminis, and won praise for its use of space (80 percent of the floor space was available for passengers and luggage) as well as its road-holding. The 127 was also one of the more popular imported cars on the UK market, peaking at more than 20,000
sales in 1978.
The series 2 was introduced in 1977 featured a restyled front and rear and larger rear side windows without the curved beltline of the original. Also revised was the interior with a new dashboard, identical to the original but plainer in appearance and without the wood embellishment.
THE HISTORY
Little is known about its life but from the information provided by the current owner the car was imported in December 2020 and has been UK registered.
According to the seller the vehicle was used for historic rallying in France but in their own words there’s no paperwork to confirm this. It’s worth noting no checks have been made to certify the rally equipment is certified, the future owner will need to ensure they research and carry out the necessary inspections.
THE PAPERWORK
No paperwork was available on the day of the shoot and there is nothing from its life prior to arriving in the UK. However all work that has been carried since 2020 will be provided.
THE EXTERIOR
First, it has to be said that this car looks awesome, from bonnet to boot this tiny car emits fun. The rally design takes inspiration from Abarth and while the 127 Abarth never technically existed this car looks the business.
The paint is in fine order, white body with red side stripes looks fantastic, the enormous amount of stickers just add to the fun factor, especially the rooftop scorpion, nice and visible thanks to the car being lowered and most likely not exceeding 4ft in height!
The alloy wheels are just as great, grey rally style with abarth centre caps, gorgeous and suit the car incredibly. Bumper to bumper there’s not much wrong to point out, no signs of anything worrying or unwanted.
THE INTERIOR
Inside the charm continues, there has been a decent amount of stripping back to assist with the rally set up, the most noticeable change is the removal of the rear seats which have been replaced by a spare wheel and roll cage.
Up front, black leather seats are present, the drivers seat does have a rip but nothing that can't be resolved easily. Abarth racing steering wheel (on the left!) sits proudly in front of the modified dash. Aftermarket rev counter sits above aftermarket switches, racing and rallying was no doubt the cars only purpose for sometime.
54,368 miles are present on the typical 80’s style dash, black, plastic, plain but again it works with the car so well.
THE MECHANICS
The car started and revved loudly, the 903cc engine sounds great, even though it might not have a huge amount of go. The seller has kindly listed some of the work carried out since he acquired the vehicle -
Since arrival the car has had a thorough going over and the following parts replaced. The suspension has been lowered by 40mm on the back by lowering blocks and the front has had proper lowering springs with new mountings. The front brakes have new calipers along with EBC green stuff pads with grooved and drilled brake discs. The front brake hoses have been replaced with braided hoses. It has a new brake load sensing valve and new brake pipes as
required.
The 4 speed gearbox has had new driveshaft gaiters and oil seals. The engine appears to be standard and has recently been serviced with a new sump gasket so it has no oil leaks. For the MOT it had new lower suspension arms with new bushes and ball joints. The exhaust system is also a new replacement. The headlights are adapted to UK traffic and the car is all ready to drive away and enjoy.
THE APPEAL
There is so much to love about this little Fiat, the plain 80’s supermini sized vehicle has been transformed into a eyebrow raising, smirk initiating rally replica.
The great paintwork is a real selling point and will definitely help keep this middle aged pocket rocket going and going.
It will need to correct checks and research if it were to ever rally again but if you would prefer to leave the helmet and mic at home the car is ready to enjoy straight away as a show car or for those Sunday evening cruises.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
