Love it.
Are they vinyl?
An old neighbour of my mum and dads had one many years ago in a red/ orange colour.
Can remember even back then and I'm talking twenty years ago that it needed some welding.
Weather was too bad out side so they measured it up a d worked out that it would fit sideways in the garage!
So that's what they did, parked it on the drive one on each corner to son it around and then slowly thy carried itin to the garage .
Was like a couple of inches each end spare

I had a 1300gt they rot like any fiat, but for some reason they tend to rot in some very odd places.
I still like these cars, great fun to drive.

They are vinyl yes...bought a 5m x 30cm roll for £7.Then cut it in to 15cm squares.The car's a blast to drive,it's the 1050 engine but with the Sport head,carb and manifold.And then the down pipe from the 1.3 GT.And ofcourse there's always plenty of rust to chase!

Big fan of these> I have a Y10 and I'm guessing the 127 is huge fun to drive. Can't help feeling Fiat went in slightly the wrong direction with their tall Giugiaro cars of the 80s. They never got back that reputation for handling.

Love these, had one as my first car back in 1988, a white 78 1050CL then had a blue 900L MK1 shape (76 i think), the MK1 was strangley more solid, sadly it was written off when it burst a ball joint driving through a pot hole  |

One of the best small hatches I've ever own was a 127 Palio Same nappy brawn colour as the one below  It was nippy for effectively a 1 litre - peppy and fun to drive and well equipped for a car at that time Shame the ex could drive for sh!t and wrote it off, she also destroyed one of my other favorite 205's later - another reason why she is an ex  |
