I used to have a red air-cooled 126 called “Hughie”, so I know where this guy is coming from..
These cars are excellent fun.

“Like being followed (chased is too strong a word) by a small, angry lawnmower” (Air-cooled version)

White Fiat 126 BIS called “Oliver”.

Mad, rear-engined mini-car made by Fiat.
Driving experience: “Like being followed (“chased” is too strong a word) by a small, angry lawnmower.
Engine: Frantic yet ineffectual, like a hamster pushing a wardrobe.
The early ones are aircooled. Later (BIS) models are water cooled, and feature a hatchback design.
Go for the earlier one.
