What do u think

Saw this on e bay quite rare and good nick bearing in mind it is a work vehicle, and obviously has been as it based in the south west and has some crap in the load bay.
I fancy this as a second for my work only problem is its location as I am in SE London.
Thougths?
Pete

Re: What do u think

Great condition!
It's a Brazilian-Uno model, you can tell from the shape of the bonnet (sides rolled over). The engine may be a little rare to get parts for. But it sounds like it won't need them anyway.

You just have an 'adventure' picking it up (fun!)

Re: What do u think

I really am tempted but we have just had a baby and the had to get a 4 door micra for the missus, there is no space o/s for another car.
She would go wild too if I brought another stray back too lol.
I am still tempted as it looks great and I had to sell my merc last month for our extension, baby etc the list goes on.
Alex you say I may have probs getting engine parts are they very diff from the usual Fiat diesel engine?
I have asked the seller a few questions.
Pete

Re: What do u think

It's not based on the Brazilian Uno, it is based on the Floraino (sp?) van, they made these for years for the UK market. The Diesel engine is the same as the Uno diesels, so parts will be fine, the suspension is different, and this is based on Fiat 127 suspension which was then used on some of the Brazilian Uno's. If you look at the engine bay of a Fiat 127 then you will see it is very much like the one shown.

Go for it, quite a rare body option (made by cannon, judging by the badges on it) probably more useful than an Uno as a van, but all your stuff will get wet

Re: What do u think

Now that is an interesting idea.......strip out interior, fit bucket seats and smaller steering wheel, drop the suspension, flair the arches, fat alloys, drop a 200bhp turbo lump in, have fun
