Description from the seller
IN HIGHLIGHT:
• Rare Cabriolet Pop 2000 version based on Fiat 126
• Homologated with Historic Relevance Certificate and ASI Gold Plate since 2019
• Equipped with black vintage plates from the Frosinone province (FR) and original Italian documents
HISTORY/PANORAMA
Presented in 1972 as the heir to the legendary Fiat 500, the Fiat 126 represented for over two decades the quintessence of a city car in Europe, combining rear-wheel drive and rear‑engine layout with a more squared, practical design. In the 1980s and 1990s, several coachbuilders and artisanal companies—including the famous Pop in Germany and its European derivatives—transformed the 126 into curious and sought-after cabriolet versions dedicated to leisure and summer driving.
This example dates from 1992, the year it was built and concurrently registered for the first time in Italy on 7 August 1992, confirming its Italian origin. The stamped chassis bears the code ZFA126A0003112897. The car retains its original black plates from the era with the automotive abbreviation of the province of Frosinone (FR) and records a total of 5 previous PRA registrations. In 2019 it obtained the ASI Gold Plate recognition. The car is viewable and collectible in Reggio Emilia, by appointment with Catawiki.
BODYWORK/PAINT:
The bodywork presents in its distinctive open-top configuration without side rigid doors. From the FSM identification tag on the vehicle, the original paint code is derived as "Nr. Lakieru / Paint No. 224" (Corfu White / White). The exterior repaint has undergone a refresh over the years and shows normal wear consistent with age and use. Externally there is a black soft top complete with clear flexible windows attached by hooks and snap buttons in good preservation. The engine bay is clean and free of significant rust traces. The condition of the floors and underbody can be seen in detail through the attached photographs.
INTERIOR:
The cabin is preserved, with the two-tone black and red fabric upholstery featuring special embroidery on the front headrests, complete with a matching rear bench. The carpeting and interior trim maintain the period specification. No electrical malfunctions of the instruments have been reported.
MECHANICS:
The identification plate confirms the engine type "126A2.000" of 703 cc (26 hp), paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, in line with factory specifications. As this is a car that has stood for some time, a general maintenance service may be required before road use. The engine bay is clean and well kept. The tires mounted date from late 2018.
DOCUMENTS:
The car comes with original Italian documents valid for the transfer of ownership. There is an ASI historic register certificate with the Gold Plate dated 23/11/2019, which attests that the vehicle is preserved in every detail and with correct mechanical condition for its model and type.
The seller offers the possibility of arranging home delivery both within Italy and abroad.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
