Voted best what, and by who?
quote "1.6 TWINCAM FIAT ENGINE MINAFARANI "
no idea what a MINAFARANI is - there engines were mostly fitted to Mirafioris I believe......
"MINAFARANI" what the the chuff is that then...?
Mirafiori is what I think he means 
Looks well enough built though, but the lack of seller knowledge isn't encouraging in terms of a sale IMHO.

It actually looks quite nice
But the wild statements nd lack of basic knowledge from a seller LINGDALE MOTORS is a bit worrying
MINAFARANI i think would be PINAFARANI. i know they styled a few fiats, this dosnt mean the engine was though?
i agree it is a nice car i love the fat wheels,it also passed sva in 2005.
Interesting: mycahrcheck.com has it as a "Lotus (Convertible)" https://www.mycarcheck.com/check/Q788TYE/
freecarcheck (no, I've never heard of it either) says it is a Lotus too http://www.freecarcheck.org/search
so does dvla

I wonder if Louts has a record of manufacturing this car in 2005?
Interesting also that the ignorant seller calls it a Locust, amongts other things...

ive solved the puzzle, he means the Fiat 131 Mirafiori http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_131
how he miss spelled MIRAFIORI to MINAFARANI i dont know!
he says the reserve is set at £4,500, but there is no reserve on it.
That car has some chuffing wide wheels on it! Makes the spare look like a space saver!!!!
Looks nice though.
Average
In 2004 my car was voted best in the universe by me, my wife and grand kids. I've got a 1600 Fiat twin cam in bits I think it was a Minafoneria
engine (might have been Strada though
) He didn't last long at 3 months, probably his hair went with taking the screen off, he only rested it
back on for the pictures. Oh sorry, that was the screen not the hair. It's a Locust according to the listing so it's the plywood one.
Best car? From the photos, i wouldnt based on the number plate being bent on the rear, and the gear shift surround just looking like a piece of
square ali plate.
Sounds like a blagger to me.
Actually I think it looks quite nice. ie reasonably tidy and well built .
The Line of the rear tub (sides) make it look like a LocUst to me.
Not sure I would want to pay £4500 for it.
As noted by others, no reserve shown other than in the text which I am not sure is binding.
Maybe if it doesnt reach the price, he will withdraw or refuse to sell. I had that happen, ie I won an aucstion and the seller refused to let me have
to goods, and there is not a lot you can do about it.
