[Andy]

Fukkin love these!
Right rapid little things,massively under-rated
Just a shame they have all rotted into oblivion

[AlexW]

Mate has one of these stored for a rainy day. Ok cars. Same as anything i think, once youve got the bug you cannot get away.

[Spudly]

My mate had one of these years back when three spokes actually looked cool lmfao, nice little cars and as said properly rapid for what they are:thumb:

[skyinsurance]

Well I can gladly say that this one has a damn good shell.. spent 2.5 hours viewing it.. all the seats and carpets out.. rear turrets mint, floor pan mint, needs a slight patch on passenger sill but no MOT fail. Just need to sort the blower!!

[Tony M]

Rare motor mate, looks clean !

[Count Vaux Alot]

Nice little motor mate give me a pm as i can help with the turbo :thumb:

[Cle]

If your turbo is repair able i can get it fixed and refurbed at my work.

[Ernie]

these were the daddy when i started to drive along with the series 2 rs turbo and of cause the nova sr's/gte's.
Oh the good times.

[Jack]

I had a Uno once, albeit the earlier shape that was smaller than that.

Hence why I could never love an Uno. No matter how fast it is. lol

[craig green]

Odd. I only thought about these yesterday... Thinking I bet there arent many left, or seen one in ages.

[Mike]

I'm joking before anyone starts!



Meh lol carry on hahaha

Was this the one that was on eBay per chance?? Lovely little motors, one of a minority of FIATs id like to own.

[mowgli]

Mate has one of these stored for a rainy day.

[muzzy]

I think these are very cool cars, never ever see them anymore.

[nova danny1]

[skyinsurance]

Meh lol carry on hahaha

Bet the insurance is cheap for you though :( lol

Could you ever love a Mk1 Golf Jack?

Rumour has it that Fiat rejected the 'original' design for the Uno and the design was sold to VW who built it under the name 'Golf' ;)

[skyinsurance]

Bet the insurance is cheap for you though :( lol

I own 6 cars, insure three of them at one time.. insurance is cheap but not THAT cheap!

[mowgli]

the golf was launched in 1974, the strada (ritmo) and panda weren't even off the paper then

[skyinsurance]

Pen is put to paper a fair few years before cars go into production.. as I say it is a rumour but it is entirely possible.

[MK999]

Also doesn't mean that the original design for the uno wasn't drawn so long ago they used ink from a pot with a quill, and then forgotten about until what we know as the uno was made.

And can you not just sneak your cars onto the database on your lunch break Ollie? lol

Do sharks **** in the sea?

Olly just out of intrest whats a uno in that condition worth?

[L14MNP]

Fantastic mate! I recall a discussion on here a while ago about these, either started by you or heavily posted in by you.

Looks in good shape. Get the Hornman kit (I remember it looking good anyway!)
Fcuk the fools that have no time for these. :)

[daleNOVAbrennan]

I WANT ONE NOW. i always said id have one of these by the age of 21 but due to getting banned (me being a cock) doesn't look like i will have one anytime soon

[skyinsurance]

p.s. Pics of GT4 pls :d

http://i282.photobucket.com/albums/kk253/skyinsuranceollie/27042008045.jpg

Although I've lowered it 30mm on TRD springs and put different (rally style) wheels on since the pictures. It was the old company car which I bought recently. Will be up for sale again soon :thumb:

[Jack]

That'll be the one I saw at Trax then :d

[skyinsurance]

Olly just out of intrest whats a uno in that condition worth?

I got this one cheap but it does need an MOT, you're looking at between £1000 and £2500 for a runner usually. Mk1s seem to be fetching a little more. There are hardly any left unfortunately someone did the numbers a few years back and I think there was under 500 :mad:

[sparkie1401]

i used to really like the mk1 with the digi dash, i remember a bluey/green wide arch Uno turbo featured in fast car most probabaly 1998/99

not as cool as the GM dash mind

still prefer R5 GTT

[skyinsurance]

still prefer R5 GTT

Kitted Unos dont really do it for me.. low and loud is where its at!

R5 - Carb vs injection, injection everytime for me!

[L14MNP]

What motor's in the G6 Gallow 12 or 24?

[ben doodar]

Cool little car you've got there! A lad had one around my way years ago. Allways make me laughh the thought of a turbo'd UNO! They make me chuckle! Havnt seen one in years. Lol n well were on the subject seen a proper mint, old boy special, montego turbo today!!

[Mike]

Will be up for sale again soon :thumb:

PM with a price when it is, if ive got room i might be tempted :)

[ade]

back the page 1 I almost bought a Fiat Uno over a Nova when I went hunting for my 1st car - the Uno I looked at quite clearly had been in a collission (mega orange peel on the sides!).

[skyinsurance]

Well nearly a year later and we have some progess.. Had to fit a T25 from a 200SX in the end.. took a little work but got there in the end.

Ran it up last week and it seems to be ok, idles perfectly and boosted fine.. off for MOT tomorrow so fingers crossed! I cant wait : )

[wwmnw]

Sounds good mate, more pics are required though, by law.

[Count Vaux Alot]

/\ what he said

[loggyboy]

Dont see an Uno turbo for years then 2 pop up on forums within a week of each other.

[Spudly]

Eeewwww, the flushed boot on that one makes the back end look horrendous:eek:


My mate used to have a J plate one on three spokes 'BITD' was a seriously quick motor and not much could keep up with it:thumb:

[skyinsurance]

Will get some photos up when I can, cant seem to get them off the i phone at the moment..

It's at the MOT centre now.. my friend works there and is going to put it through a mock test first to see whats up with it. Drove well though!

Ollie

[skyinsurance]
