1979 Fiat 128 3P Coupe SS review from UK and Ireland
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Car had numerous electrical problems. The clutch disintegrated while on the move. Generally a very reliable car.
Rusted depressingly quickly.
General comments?
Car was a little exotic gem and is a forgotten classic. Go cart handling with great acceleration made each trip a joy.
Car had looks of a minature Ferrari especially decked out with SS stripes and alloys. Radio often had to be switched off and windows opened to hear glorious raspy exhaust note. Why don't Fiat make cars like this anymore?
