Sam Glover Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I found this Fiat 133 while poking in a barn in the Malverns a few years ago. Its presence irked me. I caved in and made the owner an offer he couldn’t refuse – £600 – at the end of last year. It’s one of five right-hand drive Fiat 133s known to exist (by me, at least). It’s been laid up for 20 years, it’s been coachpainted in Tipp-Ex and it’s missing badges and a bootlid. Otherwise, it’s really not bad. It’s scabby but solid and it’s done 40,000ish miles. It totally does it for me. However, I’m clearly never going to be arsed to do anything to it, so I might just go to Spain and buy a good SEAT 133 instead. This excellent problem could be yours for £600. It’s near Cirencester. Sam Here are some pictures. For fear of anyone quite-rightly calling be a dickhead, it did have a strap on each wheel for transit. I removed three of them so I didn’t pressure-wash cow shit into them.

Matt Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I love the no bullshit "styling". It's a car, it takes you places, don't like how it looks? Tough shit pal. Junkman, Lacquer Peel, Alexg and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Glover Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 The interior's magnificently puritanical, too. It makes a Trabant look flashy and decadent.

quicksilver Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I love how it looks exactly like a slightly bigger 126. I only know these exist thanks to My Summer Car - the little green car that drives like a maniac around the dirt roads is apparently a 133 and they were quite popular in Finland.

Dick Longbridge Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 That looks really solid from here. Old Dorset reg plate as well. Is the exhaust a funky 80's custom job, or Fiat having some design fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Split_Pin Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I remember these being a new one me when I went to Menorca for the first time in the early 1990s. Always loved them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 The bastard child of a 126 and 127 on the floor and running gear of an 850. Knocked together in Franco's Spain. What's not to like.

Uncle Jimmy Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 And it's got lots of spare parts including distributor caps in the boot. A must have. HillmanImp, Dave_Q and Rusty_Rocket 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longblackcoat Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 My uncle had one of those in the mid-70s; my dad was utterly convinced it was a 126, and I had to get him to walk over and read the badge before he'd believe me. I'd love one of these, but three cars on a three-car driveway means no more motors at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Station Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 It looks like someone made a Fiat 126 out of melamine door panels. Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
