you looked at 15 cars and all were rusted, what the hell are people selling

You'll enjoy it - the 8v 75 poss the most lively of all Puntos, tho a bit down on power compared to the 16v 85. The 75 head is the one most favoured by the racers cos it breathes so well. Superior interior. I loved mine, went to 170k miles as far as I remember, before multiple mech problems on top of serious rust around the skylight finished it off.

Yes, that was on my mind when i saw some of the cars .
When i was looking advertisements and call sellers i only asked for condition of underbody, didnt mind engine condition, torn seats etc.
Its unbelievably what people think is good condition and ask for them even 1000+ GPB, thats sick.

sounds pretty standard issue for mk1 punto's to me.. they are really bad for rust really, especially over here in the UK cause of the salt on the roads in winter... Not sure why they feel the need to waste so much money spreading salt everywhere when they could just make winter tyres the law or something and are cars wouldn't all rust worse than everywhere else.

Uhmmmmm

Steak + Salt + Pepper... is better than on the road !


.

 

[MikeG20]

Yes, i agree

 

[PuntoHowTo]

Looks like you go a nice little car, certainly doesn't look like it's done 200k/km

 

[MikeG20]

Thanx.
There is some paint job on bumpers, but nothing to worry about

 

[flisko]

i was wondering which bulbs 75sx got either h4 or h1 also does it got electrically adjustable headlights?

 

[MikeG20]

Depends, there were both versions. If you have separate high and low beam (two separate reflectors inside headlight), then you have h1, otherwise is h4. Some versions had el. adj. beam, depends if you have a selector for beam hight on dashboard.
Mine didnt have that


Btw, this Punto is sold, replaced by Mk2b m.y. 2004. 1.2 8V LPG-ed
