Your sig is wrong! It's a Citroen AX and it shows a rusty edge to the tailgate. Except the tailgate on an AX is made of plastic

It was just something I quickly found with a google image search to make my RUST is a COLOUR point....
Well spotted on the AX comment though matey :chin:
Funny how there were no Unos for sale at all about 6 weeks ago and now there's quite a few low mileage bargains available! Lots of nice 5 doors for those that like their added practicality and sleeper looks I've added some of the interesting Unos I found to the Auction Watch thread so go and take a peek:

If anyone finds any other interesting Unos for sale please add them to the Auction Watch section
And if anyone buys one, please come and introduce it to the Uno section!

we were after the 3 door in portsmouth but due to bloody slow internet missed it by £2....buggeration. no husband for chuffle yet (or organ donor to be more precise)
Which one was that? Shame you missed it by £2, it's very frustrating when that happens
But that mint silver mk1 45S has come up again - it's still listed in the Auction Watch section
Blimey, now there's NINE up for grabs on Ebay! They include mk1's and mk2's, 3 doors and 5 doors and even Turbos. This is so weird as I haven't seen as many for sale in one go for ages. It's almost as if they're breeding!

Thats including my Yellow Peril. It would be OK if people didn't keep bidding and then realise they cant travel 240 miles to collect it. Meaning their bid is withdrawn a few hours before the auction ends.
WTF is going on!?!?!
There's 10 on there now!
:shocked:
Can someone clear something up for me on this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-FIAT-UNO...ewItemQQptZAutomobiles_UK?hash=item45f1895d55
Says "Turbo reshell" - so why does it have the FIRE engine in it?
Have they taken the good body of a turbo, and refitted with a smaller engine?
Or are they advertising it as a good shell that someone could drop a Turbo lump into?
I'm mightily confused, Ted.

7 mk2's
2 mk1's, one with two too many doors
and probably an unrealistic reserve....and one "mk1" that i wouldn't take in for free
looks like they barely started it!
They're breeding I tell you!
The latter
Most mk1 Uno turbos have done 100K+ mileages and twenty years and more of hot hatching have taken their toll on the shells. Add in twenty years of winters and road salt and many shells need welding and repairs to keep them MOT legal. Sadly, once the rot starts it tends to continue spreading leading to a never ending battle against the tin worm.
With the UT having generally strong mechanicals, a rusty UT is often re-shelled into a lower spec shell. Especially as the shells are identical whatever the model and also because every now and then a low mileage mintier than mint base model or 45S mk1 will turn up for sale. Now, if you knew how much it costs to repair, weld and repaint a rusty Uno to a good standard then financially spending £500 on a clean and rot free shell to begin with suddenly makes a lot of sense. Thus there is quite a market for clean mk1 (and mk2) Uno shells for those wishing to re-shell their turbo and is why the Ebay seller advertised his mk1 as such.
