Shown here is a 1990 Fiat Uno 1.4L Turbo (1372cc) Phase II in Grigio Chiaro (Paint Code 697) finish with the original Houndstooth interior. A cool retro classic with some definite pep in its step. Over 8,800,000 Uno's were built by Fiat but few Turbo examples are still existence. Nicknamed "la bara" (the coffin) because the Turbos had a high power to weight ratio, were easy to tune, and wrecked often. Power came from a 1.4L SOHC 8V Multi-Point Injection transverse mounted Inline-4 putting traction to the ground through a 5-speed manual transmission. The Garrett turbo charged 4 banger was capable of 120 hp @ 6000 RPM and 119 lb/ft @ 3500 RPM with a top speed of 124 mph. A curb weight of only 2027 lbs made for a great power to weight ratio and fuel economy numbers approaching 30 mpg. We located this rust free well kept example in Meurchin located in the Hauts-de-France region of Northern France.
Originally delivered with the "Turbo" name accented in color contrasting ground effects. This made you easily identifiable as a hazard on any motorway, roadway. highway, byway, or use-to-be peaceful city street. If Cars and Coffee existed in 1990, many of these would have quickly found their ultimate demise wrapped around the nearest obstruction. We have installed a set of 5 Spoke Abarth alloy Cromodora 15x7 wheels wrapped in Uniroyal Rain Expert 195/50R15 directional tires to give this Turbo a proper looking stance and curb appeal. Factory features include power locks, power windows, disc brakes, rear wiper, rear defrost, fog lights, and side marker lights. The gauge cluster consists of a speedometer, tachometer, fuel, temp oil temp, oil pressure, and boost. One of our favorite features is the singular front windshield wiper which really reminds you just how small this little hot hatch is. Or what we like to call, Small But Fierce. Small But Fierce also came with a factory front tow hook for the day you feel like hitting the track. The driver and passenger seats tilt forward for ease of access when you have a need to cram 3 adults into the back and test the boundaries of physics. For those lucky enough to ride in the rear... the side windows pop open for air flow and/or to let screams escape (really matter of choice).
A very original vehicle with the only upgrades being the Cromodora wheels and air intake. The original manuals, wheels, and tires are available with the Uno. Recent maintenance includes fresh fluid and filter change, new constant velocity joints, new inner and outer tie rods, and alignment.
