did have, but the nova got flogged.
got a cinquecento sporting 1.1 id swap for a 1.4 340 though...full apex lowering kit on it (£97), 7.5" deep dish weller wheels (£200), four tyres that have done 2000miles scince fitting (£150), MOT, Tax, water pump (£40), cambelt(£15), oil(castrol, not halfords cheapo shite. £25), oil filter(£5), plugs (NGK's £22), induction kit (£45..doesnt add much go, but makes a lovely noise)and a kenwood CD player fitted. oh and a new battery off a diesel. (leave the sterio on as long as you like, the battery wont go flat)
only issue with it at the moment is i put a couple old jerry cans of fuel in it cause theyd been knocking round the garden for god knows how long and its now got something dodgy in the tank (possibly oil, possibly two stroke, could be water).
ive cleaned out the lines, replaced the filter, and cleaned the pump out, aswell as washing out the plugs and giving them a good brush up and it runs a lot better, but on pullaway it refuses to go, then coughs a cloud of smoke out the back, then runs fine...till i did that it'd run faultlessly.
111,000 on the clock, used five nights a week for pizza delivery for the past three months, clocking 500-600 miles a week without missing a beat. the bolster is worn on the drivers side, and the back seats are currently not in the car, but im more than happy to bolt em back in if anyone wants her. red in colour.
for a straight up swap id want a pretty much mint 1.4, with a years MOT and 6months test...but im more than happy to consider your car + cash if it needs work doing, or its got a short MOT. IDK. make me an offer...
I'd like RWD, and legroom...the cinq aint all that with size 11 feet when your 6ft 3, however its got a shocking amount of grip...feels a lot like my old classic mini, and the fuel economy is superb.
Many thanks
Iain
