Punto (Mk2/2b) My MK2

Introduction

Seems like a while since my last Fiat, this is the fourth in nearly ten years of driving. Deffo won't be the last :)

As some of you will know I had a Bravo HGT not so long ago. Only owned it for 6 months before some eejit over the road from me parked his Focus on top of it. That, as they say, was that.

Ran a vec for a while - 18 months to be exact - but it was scrapped last week as MOT time and 190k on the clock approached. With the price of petrol going up and up, ditto insurance, I've decided to do something sensible so have got a MK2 Punto. Just a base model 1.2 but it's gonna be a lot more economical to run. Much more economical.

Proper pics to follow, but glad to be driving Italian again.

Long term plans - keep it mechanically sound, maybe tidy up a few blemeshis on the bodywork side and a set of alloys. Possibly coupes or Punto sporting/gt's. Will see :)

looks like a nice example, all most people want when they have a 1.2 is a faster car, but i re-fill mine every 2 weeks and it only costs 42quid, you cant get better for the good looks of a punto and the cheapness to run, spare parts are so cheap aswell, its a really good buy for anyone.
 
Thanks guys.

As I say, fourth Fiat - second Punto so it was bought for the reasons you state. It's also a huge amount less to insure compared to the Vec, which is always good.

Bodywork does need a bit more TLC than the pics let on, bumpers are a bit scraped and the NS light/wing have a wee mark too, but it's nothing I can't get from the scrapman for much cheapness!

Alloys will follow when funds allow. This weekend I think I'm gonna give it a good clean/pre winter polish if it stays dry. So yeh, that'll be a quick wash no doubt!

And yes, I will get a few more proper pics at the weekend :)
