That's the sort of country event I like Dianne.
It's a Fiat Abarth, 500cc engine, really only enough power to run a Horlick's whisk.
Trust me, I took a cousin (sister of mine host today) to buy one but although she said it was "a nice girly car" it struggled going up the hill in Hebden Bridge where she lived so she left it.
I finished up towing it to a scrap yard a year later after my mate bought it and thrashed it until bits of a piston and rod made a quick exit out of side of the engine block.
The little gauge on the dash which had "Oilio" on never seem to want to move off the bottom stop.
