Hi all,
I bought a Seicento Sporting a few months ago for my girlfriend. It needed a bit of work doing as it had been in an accident. We had all the work done and it will be going through it's MOT in the next couple of weeks.
Meanwhile while my girlfriend was picking up her motorbike tonight she saw a Seicento Abarth on a '98 plate. It belongs to one of the mechanics there and his wife had killed it.
The bodywork is immaculate and it has all the little Abarth extras (including the alloys that my girlfriend really wants!). The problem with it is that it sounds like a diesel!!
Aparently the head gasket was going and his wife decided to carry on driving like a madman! Anyway black smoke poured out. The guy then replaced the head gasket and skimmed the head. He started it for 10 mins and it sounded like a diesel so he turned it off.
We've bought it for £200.......
Just wondering do you guys have any idea what that problem could be as I'm thinking of stripping the bits off that my girlfriend wants for hers and then doing it up and either driving it or selling it.:idea:
Also is this a bargain or am I just fixed on Fiats?!
