	right, everytime i visit the bergrennen i see this car and i knew it from the first time i saw it... MEGA WANT! after some searching, i found out that it's a Fiat 128, and yesterday i saw this one at Techno Classica: Which didn't help off course... ;D Now i found one for sale, but i haven't got a clue where to look at, i'm in to Toyota's and know them pretty good, but Fiats.. otherwise then the Panda of a mate, i've never worked on one/seen one from up close. Is there anyone on here who can tell me more about them? Have some 128 Coupe pics:

	not a pro on these, but used to work on one.....very quick for a 1.3. think 2.0 twin cam goes in easily.....very quick then! They handle well, they rust......anywhere! Very nice car though, love the 3p- that red one was in a classics mag recently.

	My dad used to have one with the same stripes as this one: I know nothing about it, other than he drove it across Europe in the late seventies, and it broke down a lot.

	Hi-The one in the post above with the 128 sport stripe is a 3p-tre porte-three door.A turbo uno engine 1.3/1.4 should go straight in,uno gearboxes should fit easily too.The sohc engines in these were available in 1.1,1.3 and 1.5 litre forms,common to the ritmo,regata and uno range.Also the lancia delta used the same sohc engine,I think.Yugo's too.I used race an uno with a 1.3 and it was a great engine-7500revs and I think about 95bhp on a single weber.The good thing with the 128 is that it has independant suspension all round,and looking at those photo's fibreglass wings are available....Enjoy it if you get one!

	Mate had one brand new in 1974. Fell part so survivers could be rare. Always liked the shape. Mates was a 1100 so ultra rare. We were only talking about it the other day with fond memories as great little car. He replaced it with a new P reg JPS Capri which fell apart just as fast ! Paul H
