I decided after owning my Seicento Schumacher for over a year and enjoying it so much it needed a companion
So after a bit of searching I found a Cinqucento SX with quite low mileage and cheap as chips locally
When I went to view her I decided on the way there if it was a rot box I wouldn't bother but to my delight it only needs a tiny bit of welding in the NSR wheel arch and I brought her home the same day on trade plates borrowed from work
Runs really well but does have a few mechanical issues such as handbrake us , rocker cover leaking in fact all the usual problems
The original owner was very honest and pointed out all the problems and one I have never come across before.
Seemingly on left hand corners the filler neck breather will occasionally spew out fuel from the vent hole
I have looked through the forum and cannot find a definitive answer as to why it should do this, anybody know the answer?
I haven't had it do it myself as it isn't on the road at the moment
Just as a matter of interest she came with a lot of original history, 53,000 miles on the clock, four spare wheels and tyres, Haynes manual, half a gallon of Castrol GTX , two spare sporting bumpers and two new handbrake levers all for the princely sum of £120 just goes to show what is still out there to be found
