@PaulCowland_ @carandclassic Great article. I love owning, maintaining and driving my low cost classic Fiat 126. It always turns heads and I’m always stopped and questioned when filling up. P.s. keep your eye’s peeled I’m from your neck of the woods!

@thealso @ajpbradley I’ve found that you get a much better field of view with them this way round. Hoping my new ones don’t droop as that’s why the originals needed replacing!

@thealso @ajpbradley Thanks for posting your pic, it’s backed up that I have put my new mirrors on the right way round after being told they need rotating 90 degrees! 😀

@philwane @GedlingEye You can just make out this deer spotted on Digby Park

@ronmanagernottm what do you think of this Nottingham fusion dish? I am looking forward to Cock-on-a-stick con carne and haslet sweet and sour

@Carpervert @nickdeacon71 Here’s a pic of the tobacco vinyl and orange carpet interior, the only way I could make it look more early 80s would be to put a Human League LP in shot!

[Mark Hannon @MarkFiat126]

@Carpervert @nickdeacon71 No. It’s a 1982 rhd model.

@ronmanagernottm How about a Haslet cob followed by an elephant’s foot?

[Mark Hannon @MarkFiat126]

@Only9built Seeing as I own one I’m a definite yes.

[Mark Hannon @MarkFiat126]

@VanniniSilvio @VincentL40 Those wheels were used on both the later 500s and the first generation 126. There was a crossover of many parts until the 500 finally ceased production.

@HagertyUK The person can’t be that mystical as I already own it!

@sniffpetrol The finest example of a Nottingham accent can be heard in the dulcet tones of Sue Pollard.

@StripeyMiata @DanielCars05 Isn’t a 911 just a squashed beetle? 😀

[Mark Hannon @MarkFiat126]

@DanielCars05 @StripeyMiata Cheers. I can definitely recommend one as your first classic. I’ve previously owned a beetle and a mini and the fiat is the easiest to work on and definitely turns the most heads. 😀

[Mark Hannon @MarkFiat126]

@DanielCars05 @StripeyMiata I love driving mine! But must admit it sharpens the mind and reflexes as you really don’t want an accident in one. 😀

@denialvibes I know about Little Kix and Kleptomania but even the most hardcore fan isn’t going to name one of those as a favourite 😀

@JosephLeivers @ronmanagernottm Don’t forget your elephant’s foot for dessert!
