Status: offline 		Well I've done exactly what I said I'd never do and mortgaged my kidneys, sold the children, and ordered a brand new car, I must be nuts.

But it is Italian and only has two doors, two real seats (and two pretend ones) and a considerable waiting list which should keep demand healthy.

You never know I might even make a couple of quid if I don't get carried away with the options list

Guesses on a postcard, first prize is the warm satisfaction of being right.

For £500 I couldn't resist.  Although I think the final bill might be a tad higher.  Probably be a straight p/ex with the 3200 by the time it arrives  (I wouldn't dream of it btw).

Great little car, saw quitre a few on a recent trip to Italy, and had a good nose around one in the Stanguenilli Fiat Dealership in Modena.

You'll get lots of smiles in that!

I ordered one of them as well - late October.  What did you go for? Mines a white Pop 100hp with red interior.  Should be a bit of fun!
