The Cinq is a Sporting with Abarth rear spoiler and wheels.
The Sei is a true Abarth.

Very nice
Are the wheels speedline one?

Nice Cars Jay. Do you plan on keeping them all?

Its interesting - I reckon Cinqs are just as much 'Abarths' as Seicentos. They were all dealer option parts just added on anyway. The Cinq sporting only came in the three Abarth colours when it was launched

Yeah Abarth Speedlines.

Yeah I'd like to try and keep them all but storage might be an issue, if I can find a 126. Not sure which one I'd get rid of though. There're all great cars, in really good condition, great history and totally sorted so maintenance and mot wise I can't see any real problems for a long time on any of them. It would be a shame to get rid of any if them.

I could be interested in the Cinq if it's a good 'un

Just found a 126 which should be winging it's way to me as I write this. I will upload pics of the new addition once it's with me.

So space is going to be an issues.

I remember my sister owning a brand new Biz, it wasn't a good car.

Looks to be in very good condition
Watch out for it overheating other than that they are a great engine and easy to work on.
Some owners remove the thermostat to aid cooling but the down side is it takes longer to warm up I kept mine in and regard it as a service item changing it every year as a matter of course
I also converted mine to electronic ignition and they run much better and start easier with it fitted
Any questions just ask ?

Thanks for that. I had research the over heating issues. So I've just taken my thermostat out for now and done a full drain, refilled with water and a coolant flush additive, run up to temp, the a full drain and flush through with the garden hose. Loads of rubbish came out. I've ordered a new stat and will to a 50/50 mix with antifreeze and deionised water.

While doing this I've noticed the heater control valve under the dash is leaking badly so I now need to ask about to see if anyone has got a spare and start to look on the net.

Always something. Never mind it'll be worth it in the long run.

Regards
Jay
