SUMMARY
Rare, three-door 128, magazine featured and looking fabulous in Lemon Yellow.
DESCRIPTION
- Based on the boxy Fiat 128 Saloon but with more stylish fastback styling, the 128 Coupé Sport offered sporty performance in a diminutive but practical package
- The 128 3P used the existing design back to the B-pillar, with some detail modifications to the grille and headlights
- 1,290cc transverse SOHC, four-cylinder offering 74bhp, 0-60 in 10.8 seconds and 100mph
- A little less than 50,000 miles from new, supported by a huge history file
- Resprayed 15 years ago with only minimal body work required. Photographic record and invoices
- Recent work includes a full service, cambelt kit, new clutch and water pump along with a tidy up of the engine bay
- Enthusiast-owned, this rare survivor would be difficult to beat for originality and condition
- TLY is a well known 'Classic' Fiat, extensively featured in Auto Italia and Practical Classics
