1998 Fiat Punto 1.2 16v (90bhp). Yellow. To swap for a 1275 mini with an mot and that runs well.

If anyone's interested please let me know.













Note the small dent on the bonnet next to the badge, on the door above the handle and the crack at the front of the o/s sideskirt. Also the rear wiper won't be there.

Bad Points

Small 2-inch in diameter indent on bonnet + tiny indent near driver door handle (see photos, you may not even notice them).
No aerial, will just need a replacement but I never bothered as I only listen to cd's. Just ordered a brand new complete aerial assembly
One sideskirt has a slight crack at the front (See photos).
Electric windows aren't very fast sometimes.
Gearbox occassionally is a little bit stiff going into 2nd.

I'll post an update as soon as I get the other details.

Thanks. Guy.

How much? and is it a MK1 or Mk2?

[gsms]

It's a mk1 Sporting 1.2 16v, and I'm looking for a swap ideally for any good working order mini with an mot (even 998cc, i don't mind too much). As long as the mini is a nice-ish colour (not poo-brown!) I'll consider it.

Ok I've got some photos:

EDIT: I've put all the pics in the first post of this thread.

[gsms]

Just ordered some new parts so the exhaust will be perfect and a brand new aerial will be fitted.

Any mini owners looking for a modern & sporty upgrade?

[gsms]

No-one?

[giacomo]

Is this just a px or would you sell it for cash?

[gsms]

Probably just a px I'm afraid, I'll keep the car unless there are any nice minis that I could swap with.

Thanks anyway though.

[jammiedodger26]

How much is this worth? What sort of mini are you looking for?

[gsms]

I'd value it at around £1,200 but I would like to keep it unless I find a mini I really like. It's a very good, solid, fast & sporty car.. I just miss the feeling of a mini that you fix with a piece of string and duct tape!
