I have been offered a little cinquento sporting in yellow. Tax and tested for £350.

I know there is quite a following with these and thought this could be fun and actually fits in my garage at home!!!

The slightly unique thing about it though is its a 1997 r plate with just 16k on the clock!

Could be abit of a prize. I will look daft in it sure but anyone know much about these?

What do you guys think..

Cool! Look after it. They are going to be sought after at some point and with that mileage its definitely worth caring for.
post some pics

If you dont take it let me know - I may well buy it for wifey.

Not good cars to have an accident in Reuben.

NCAP crash rating was poor for the later Seicento which was developed from it.

£350 with T&T and 16k........be rude not too

I had a normal Cinq nick named "Chinqy"
One of the best cars i had in all honesty!
cost me £300 about 8 years ago and it never went wrong
could park it anywhere and never worried about it! didnt worry about supermarket trollys and when i was renovating my house, you should of seen the look on peoples faces when i used to turn up at the local tip! i got more rubbish in the back than people could with a volvo estate!
I really miss that car just for the shear care free motoring!!
and i wouldnt hesitate to get another one if i ever take the coupe of the road!!

Im pickin this up this weekend. I will put some pictures up.

No Pete- Defiantly last thing i would want an accident in. Hopefully the yellow stands out enough to help prevent accidents.

It's an interesting thing, the NCAP test - I mean, how often do you plan to have an accident?

To be honest, in most cases I'd prefer a well-maintened lighter car than one with all the extra safety kit. Maybe I'm just weird?

It's escalation unfortunately. 10 years back I wouldn't have thought twice about driving a car like the Cinq. Cars were generally smaller, lighter, and slower as a populous. But up against the monotone line up of diesel rep wagons on the road now, I'm not so sure.

Coupedummy, please do get some pictures up. It's one of those cars that has very much grown on me.

You're right, szkom, but I figure avoiding the accident is the best way to avoid it. Not always possible, of course, but in the last thirty-odd years I've been in only three accidents, only one my fault.

No arguments from me, but as my dad always says; it's not you,it's everyone else you have to watch. So I quite like the idea of side impact bars and crumple zones for the time when I can't react quickly enough

On a slight tangent I have a 205 Gti that I keep for one reason, it does as I tell it which makes it a hoot to drive; even just going to the shops. I hope the OP has as much fun with the Cinq as I've had with mine.

Picked this up yesterday!


Very nippy little thing. Strange driving so small. Feels like im sitting on the back seat. But so fun...

Even older than i thought. 19 years old.. 1995 with 16k on the clock

Heres some pictures

looks great I had a drive in one once it was like driving a mini fiat uno turbo.That is a great buy with that mileage it will only go up in value

Cheers. Needs a wash and cut. Hoping to bring the paintwork up hopefully

Rueben, if that's the single-point injector (in the carb) you'll find that the startrek-punto software works with it.

I believe it is Neil. I will check that out thanks.

Nice little car Rueb. Hope you both have fun with it.

That is awesome - if it weren't such a low milage clean example it'd make the perfect track car.

What a bargain! I was expecting a red passenger door though.

He's not made of money

I agree, would be a cracking track motor but so low mille age and original it would be a huge shame
