i now want a 'grale. Ive only seen them in white before and didnt quite understand Miss Fone's obsession with them - that black one is stunning.
whats the insurance and mpg like???
It will only do about 20/22mpg round town but on motorway at a steady 70/80 you can get 28mpg, but if you fit an after market chip like the one from Evo Engineering you get a boost of power to 260bhp 280lbs/ft torque on standard exhaust (280 300 with better exhaust) from the 210 220 you get normally & get better fuel economy in the bargain!!

And how in the name of the holy ghost etc. did you get the recaros to fit in the car??? My brother´s got 3 Ritmo Abarth 130TCs (yes, three - 2 that works, one for parts - soon 2 for parts one that works, and in the end 3 for parts, none that works...) And I would really like those bucketseats to fit in the Uno - for fun.

The seat where in the end quite easy to fit. I removed the brackets that go from the runners to the floor & then replaced them with these

which bolt up to the seats runners perfectly, & it was then just a matter of drilling a few holes in the base plate to match up to the floor & they went on fairly easily, took me a few hours all in to do. You then get fully reclineing, Recaro's that still let you access the back seat and support you like nothing else. It must be noted that mine did come from what is known as a mark 3 Ritmo/Strada which I think has slightly diff seats from the earlier models, they also have the fabric that was designed by some Italian designer (can't remember the name) which has the old style 4 line Fiat badge weaved into it. My driver seat is a bit of a state to be fair, but I do have the fabric from the rear seat to get it recovered but I'm still on the look out for more fabric as I would like to recover the back seat to match as the fabric is no longer available.
If you would like me to take any photos of them in place, let me know see what I can do.
Heres a pic of the steering wheel in place.

Edit: forgot to say as the number plate sujests, its an EVO 1 in optional Maetalescent black, no sunroof, no air-con, which was the last of the homologation models one of 2500 built T3 turbo with a water spray system that sprays the inter-cooler with cold water when the boost reaches 0.8BAR. EVO 2's have the smaller T2.5 turbo no water spray & generally come in limited edition colours like Giallo Yellow, Lord Blue, Madras Blue, White Perlato (awsome finish) Candy Red with air-con as well as standard as they were not homologation models, i.e. not run in rallying.
Insurance group 18, but you can get limited millage classic car insurance for them now with agreed value.
