Car number eleven was a Fiat 127 Sport that one of my friends had re-built from a written off silver coloured car, I can't quite remember why I bought this car but it must have been a good idea at the time. Non-standard White in colour the paint as I recall was sprayed hammerite which looked a lot better than it sounds here. It was as fun as any 127 Sport can be (noisy but fun). My friend had also de-seamed the shell at several points which made the car look smoother than any other 127, this was to prove part of the cars downfall later in its life as it made changing panels (wings etc) particularly hard work.

This car had a particular fault on it that made the car misfire due to fuel starvation above certain engine speeds, I never quite got to the bottom of this and sold the car very soon (2 months) after buying it. Which meant I was car-less again..... but not for long !
