    If it's a genuine Mexico it's probably worth that money to someone.

    For €1650 I’d rather do it in a big engined RHD BMW for the same cash. Imagine 3 or 4 lads in that skip going around Europe.

    I'd light the back seat of that fiesta on fire while we were driving towards the ferry for the crack.

    I could be way off the mark, but I've never heard of a Panda Abarth. :confused:

    Reg obscured so can't do a vehicle check, and description is one of the poorest I've ever seen with next to zero information (hoping to get interest with that effort is probably worthy of this thread on its own). :rolleyes: Looks to me like a 100HP Panda with 4 spoke alloys off an older Fiat Coupe?

    I must be missing something? Surely this is a €2k car, especially when you can buy a genuine 330ci for €3k?

    Not a 100HP either - not as it stands now. The 100HP had a 1.4 NA, comment on ad is that it is now a turbo T-jet engine. Plus the 100HP had standard Fiat single pots, the car in add looks to be on Brembos.


    AFAIK there was never a Panda Abarth - Fiat were concerned it would take sales from the 500 Abarth

    What a waste of money putting a bloody 325 engine into a 316, it is still a 316. I suppose it's still taxed as a 1.8 to. I am sure there is extra structure rigidity built into larger engined models compared to a basic 316 which would worry me. Why didn't he just buy a bigger engined model and be done with it. Bound to be alot cheaper, unless he is some young lad who could only ever get insured on a 316, which he probably is looking at the square plate on the front and the blacked out tints.

    It means it’s not declared as being a DIY drivetrain swap to a 3.0.

    A standard 316i is infinitely more insurance friendly than a 330i or a Frankenstein conversion.
