busmansholiday Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 My wife's 1999 Seicento Sporting has bowed to the Italian tin worm. There's major welding around the rear to do (I just cannot be bothered after the MGB welding saga a couple of months ago) and it also needs new brake pipes, rear wheel bearings, front ball joint gaiters, discs and pads as well as the rear breaks sorting. That's the bad news, the good news is that it runs OK (current MoT was until 17th August, has Arbarth seats, side skirts and badges, four new tyres (185/55/14) and the radio works a treat. £100, South Yorks, S73 area if anybody is very sad, otherwise it's off to meet it's maker.

kinkersaab Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I have a red one of these i bought about 8 years ago and stuck it in a shed.
