A Pro-Stock Niki?
Many years ago, I cut this out of the car classified of the newspaper (the Herald-Sun circa 1992, I believe) because it was rather …unusual. Obviously a fake ad done for laughs, it wouldn’t have been cheap to run - I think you are charged by the line when placing an ad. Anyway, since I only recently found it again, I thought I would give it a bit of a new lease of life on the net. Enjoy:
For those who don’t know, the Niki 650 was a Polish-made version of the Fiat 126, with a two cylinder 650cc engine producing a whopping 17.7 kiloWatts. Top speed was about 100km/h, depending on tailwinds and gradients. When it was on sale in Australia, for about three years, it was the cheapest car on the market, and for good reason.
