And heres the bad part to have this car im having to get rid of my absolute pride and joy my fiat cinquecento, which may i add if people criticise it then they havent driven it, it handles as well as the mini and although its 899 cc it is quicker than the 998 mini above.

If your new Mini drives like a Cinq it must be well knackered. Fiat can't build cars mate, don't be silly! :P

Good luck with the Mini mate, hope your brakes come good with a little work.
Oh, and you probably know this and don't care but I should point out that the silver on black plates are very naughty on a 1985 car! I am surprised that someone was willing to make them!

I know the plates are just for shows its got the usual yellow on back, white on front now :P .

The black plates are metal plates and were made by this company at a show in london he visited this year


what is is with people criticiseing cinquecentos there a damn good car and im only selling it because i wanted something different and have always loved minis and then a lad i knew offered me the above car.
