Default New car - yellow and Italian

No, it's not a Lambo sadly!

Been looking for a fun little run around lately just so I don't have to use the S8 every single day which I usually do. Found this Seicento Sporting on eBay at a great price - £350 to be precise. Mum and dad bought it for their daughter's first car 10 years ago and she's had it ever since. She's just bought a new Abarth so sold this one and she was sad to see it go. I promised the girl I'd look after it!

In perfect condition, FSH, low miles, less than £90 to insure believe it or not. I couldn't say no to it.










Just need one of these now for when I drive it

looks good and looks like you got a bargain too, mind you I have a soft spot for Italian daily drivers, though this one has the 2.4 5 pot engine

Congrats!

S8 will feel like a paradise after driving this car for a week or so.
Like a glass of water after you just crossed the desert.

LOL - a bit of a come-down from an 8, but those things are an absolute riot to drive. Have fun in it!
