This is a very regretful sale of my beloved Fiat Uno.
He is in magnificent condition and has been pampered and well looked after all his life. No work needed!
Originally from Auckland, since I have had him he has been regularly serviced by Fiat specialists Maurice Thomson Motors and Hutt City European.
Most importantly, there is no rust. That’s right, no rust. That makes him pretty unique for a Mark 2 Fiat Uno.
Other characteristics of the little guy is that he’ll do approximately 50 mpg (21.26km/l) loaded down to the point that there’s no rear vision on a long trip. (photo on Trade Me at this link http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Cars/Fiat/auction-340674359.htm )
Around town he is also incredibly economical.
The FIRE engine, as used in this model of Fiat Uno is incredibly reliable, and is renowned for being practically bullet proof. In the unlikely event of a cambelt snap, the engine is non interference, meaning no touching and bending of valves.
He’s very sprightly around town, with a characteristic Italian rasp from the exhaust, a real joy to drive.
He also has limpet like handling due to an excellent chassis and Yokohama A539 tyres.
He’s rolling on Momo Alloys, and has been lowered slightly with aftermarket springs, this helps roadholding significantly, and possibly makes him a little better to look at too!
I’ve done a few things to him to keep him up to scratch, they include:
New Cambelt and Waterpump.
New front suspension bushes and shock absorbers.
New Slave cylinder for clutch
Reconditioned alternator
New Battery
This is really priced to sell, he’s in magnificent condition for his age and mileage, and has a lot of life left him. Don’t be put off by the high KMs regular servicing has negated the effects, and he’s good to go to 1m km.
Come round to check him out, perfect xmas present, first car or indeed only car!
Selling as I now have an Alfa as my day to day car.
Can deliver to pretty much anywhere in the north island on SH1 this weekend for cost of fuel as well, and happy to sort out transport throughout the country if needed.
