1972 Fiat 125 Special 1.6

Summary:

Espectacular

Faults:

No real failure, just maintenance.

General Comments:

Considering the year of fabrication and design, this car has great performance on acceleration, braking and also handling. It provides a lot of fun, an acceptable level of comfort, strong engine, good at high revs, sounds great. The 5 speed gear box is great and the gear ratios add to the experience with a fifth close to the fourth gear that make as the name says, special on the roads. I kept it 100% original.

1971 Fiat 125 special 1.6

Summary:

The unknown hero of the Fiat

Faults:

The gearbox broke at the first year I bought it.

Some electrical problems, like overheating of the light system.

General Comments:

This car is incredibly fast, you depress the accelerator and then say goodbye everyone.

Some guys in their new cars could not believe it!!.

But the speed is one thing, and in the curves is like drive in a straight road.

The repair costs are lower than my bycycle repair costs.

You can do a lot of modifications on this car.

And finally, I had it during 11 years and still work perfectly.
