Lovely motor

[@Dynamic3DLtd]

Friend in work had one of these in the 90's in London, he called it "THE DESTROYER" and the tales of how it beat everything were legendary in the office given loads of people had Ferraris and supra turbos :) it didn't matter what car we were talking about, "THE DESTROYER" would always end up dominating the conversation :) 25 years on, the legend of "THE DESTROYER" is still being talked about.

[@howiegreen1646]

His name wasn't George Andrea's was it 🤔🤔

[@Buck3366]

People may laugh but I had a Turbosystems/ Severn Valley tuned RS Turbo Fiesta that ran 20psi and was a fairly quick little car. It could keep level with a 350 bhp PJ Motorsport tuned Sapphire up to 130ish off a roll consistently. It was left standing by an Uno Turbo with 5 people in! There were some very fast ones around back in the day.

[@adamweston4152]

I had a much modded fiat 128 with trick suspension and it was a giant killer and I regret deeply selling it, old Fiat's are very much underated and that's a shame as I had so much fun in that car, my friends had Uno turbo's and I was shocked at how quick they were, brilliant little cars.

Now this is what I'm talking about!!! This and Renault Turbo 5 was king in my day

Yes I'm here for these old Skool cars!!!

[@scottsheppard9906]

Can't beat an old school motor..great find Ricky

[@jaywalkercrew4446]

Cant beat a tin can, they had rust issues fiat’s

[@I999-g2s]

I remember trying to race one of these on the A4 headed into London, back in ‘93, he span his wheels at about 50mph and just disappeared. I thought my GTI was “all that”, but no match for a modified Uno Turbo!

[@E83-b8e]

Watching these at 1.4bar ripping outta Southend in the 90s WAS the best of times in life, the bleed valve was king, and head gaskets were disposable 😅 To me it was the best time for the car scene too, no willy waving an wallet slapping or kiddie beef. Just home grown skills/friendships making humble cars slay giants 🔥 What a gorgeous car, you need to get some maestros, montegos, cherries an the like on ricky 💪🔥

[@charlieOkeene]

Driving an early Uno Turbo was the first time I found out what torque steer was! I loved it. So understated, no flared arches, no huge spoilers. Just the lip on the rear door.

[@kofib3]

Immediately clicked to watch.

[@howiegreen1646]

Haveing owned three uno turbos and I used check them off the transporter when new. The reason they had coolant issues was because the header ta k would crack so long as you looked after them properly what a great car. A blast from the past happy memories. The stock engine was 105 bhp

[@daleridgway4194]

Put about 3 header tanks and a few clutch cables on my E reg . Even so still awesome

[@wtf_is_going_on797]

Which was lots of fun in a 900kg car :)

[@Justforaccount]

First turbo car I ever drove felt like the fastest thing in the world at the time 👊🏽

[@20gibbon]

Nice find Ricky, love seeing one in that condition after all these years, mint. It was a fun little thing back in the day for sure, short gear ratios really helped it.

[@wonkothesane2288]

That Delta. Fookin’ ‘ell.

[@stevenmorrison8413]

Need to see more classic cars ricky they are amazing 👏

[@waynejacksonofficial]

we used rag these in the 90s... pretty rare motor... nice

[@daleridgway4194]

Fun little cars . My 1st car was a red 1988 E reg uno turbo ie . Proper cool back then . Then a silver F reg face lift . My brother had mk2 turbo ie . Awesome. Let the good times roll😎

[@Chopchop07]

I used to drive mine hard everywhere, never had a problem. The engines were bulletproof if they were looked after. They actually prepared the engine for the turbo tho, hardened valves etc...not like the R5gt where they just strapped a turbo to a 40yr old engine design and hoped for the best.

[@kyblckwd246]

Dad used to always go on abt his one and the police chases he escaped using it🤣

[@adamv7228]

I remember seeing one of these in my dad's mates garage when I was a kid. What a retro car

[@neilmustow368]

Brilliant a Mk 1 Uno Turbo got my first Uno 30 years ago when aged 18 it was a 903cc 5 speed 45ES Super 3 door not mint needed some replacement panels lasted till 1997 great memories of it passed my driving test in it in 1995

[@LMDF2000]

Lovely legend of a car, I currently own a MK2 uno turbo (a very clean example, no rust and 95k miles) myself and I’m just in love with it. As a 21 yo in Latin America this thing turns heads a lot just because such old cars are left rotting 90% of the time, and we only got a total of 146 examples from 1990 to 1994 (10 of those were MK1’s) and most of my friends that are my age had NO IDEA such a car existed, and it’s just hilarious seeing their faces after they see it take off. Great video lads!

[@stephaniedale8302]

Awesome bit of kit. Back in the day blappin round Bedford, these were the dogs doodaahs. Fab to see they're still being kept alive.

[@I_am_Jesus_though]

Fuckin love this man the proper hot hatch back in the day

[@exgtt2061]

When I was 17 THIS is the car I wanted, with the didgi dash

[@gazclayton787]

Not seen one of those in years ❤️❤️

I remember going to cruises in the 90s and these things were everywhere!

[@winstonsmith1709]

Great owner, beautiful car an top video Ricky

[@roofingcontractors3349]

I remember racing one neck and neck in my Renault 5 leaving Southend many years back , they were the days , bad boy bonnets , Bailey dump valves , re jetted carbs , memories

[@jeremypayne8001]

My mate had one of these at Uni and I literally thought I was going to die when he drove me down the M40 at speeds you don't need to know about above 100mph. I used to call his car, "the glass coffin."

[@markedwards4107]

I think the Italians used to call them flying coffins 🤣

[@jeremypayne8001]

@@markedwards4107 that makes perfect sense. I did feel as though I was sitting in a glass coffin!

[@yamyam3407]

I remember these back in the day as a kid rapid little things

[@kimbo774]

I used to have a one many years ago. Fun cars.it was roughly 170bhp and wasnt much that could keep with it around town. Used to accelerate hard and pull the passenger seat tilt leaver at the same time, pessengers nearly end up on the back seat and The boot used to open if you went around a corner to fast

[@plbingham]

had two of these,.. both mk1 89 models - red, then black. LOVED them, superb cars. Well done for keeping this on the road... beautiful

[@taylordudley3673]

My second ever car, legit loved it.

Absolutely beautiful one of my favourite cars and the Renault 5 GT Turbo😍🔥🔥🔥🔥⛽⛽⛽🇯🇲🇬🇧

[@jaywalkercrew4446]

This was an in demand car back in the 90s

[@plizy]

I had 2 of these little gems Mk 1 and MK II, They slayed everything that they come across, my friends use to call them the Mad mouse after the crazy rollercoaster in Blackpool, also no overheating issues, the first one was on the motorway everyday for 2 years because i loved how fast it was 😄

Need to get that integrale out😍

[@jch2211]

Quick little cars back in the day. Remember getting taken out in one and was mesmerised by how it ate the road. Shame was I watched it happen through the holes in the floor rather than the windscreen. Give me an 80's hot hatch over the modern stuff though any day of the week.

[@Southwalesjdm]

Never seen one in person what an awesome little retro car

[@paulb4uk]

Stunning example often more forgotten hot hatch very quick little cars .

[@LITTLEEXPERIMENTCHANNEL1]

This car kicked my arse in my Toyota corolla GTI (tvis). I was the only person in the car and there was 5 persons in the uno. A completely underrated vehicle.

I used to have a black uno turbo (F524 FNF I think) that was a nippy little thing back in 1998, AWESOME!!!

[@Dyingsociety38]

Thats pretty quick uno..

[@robertgirdwood1801]

Wanted one of these as my first car so bad, was hard to find a nice one even 13 years ago

[@morganshots2307]

My first car was a wide arch (hormann) mk1 fiat uno turbo when i was 18. Paid £1800 for the car and £2100 to insure it third party only 😂 best thing i ever did. Full scorpion exhaust, boost controller, fuel controller, huge air filter and dump valve. It was so rotten underneath, within a year the rear suspension came crashing through the rear arches and into the boot so i had to move on to a Punto GT. Ohhhh the memories 😥 nice to see there is still some alive!

[@JimboJammy]

When I was a secondary school boy my friends neighbour who was probably only in his early 20's himself, had an UNO Turbo, we used to knock on his door and ask if he'd take us out for a drive, he did a few times and it was always hilariously terrifying lol. I'd love to drive one now I'm 37 and find speed just as terrifyingly good fun as I did back then!

[@Broski2322]

Absolutely amazing classic car

[@muttleybn8007]

A mate had 1 of these way back. It was great! Fast as hell but rust was faster as it caught up with the car after a while.

[@joshjennings4045]

Proper sick car!

[@andy00grant]

Loving the Alfa in the background though 🤤

[@rabmc]

I remember when I was 17 circa 1999 and got my first car a J Plate Nova Sri, and I thought I was the man about town, and remember getting humbled by a white fiat uno turbo i.e and i am sure it was on a H plate, so as we came off a roundabout and on to a bypass, the galling thing was it was 4 up and it just slowly accelerated away, After that I knew a turbo charged car was the move, and the next year bought a fiesta rs turbo and a love affair with RS’s ensued.

[@TheLanceGTA]

I'm upset!!! Ricky looks past rhe 147 GTA in the background.

[@gishg3833]

I had a Fiat 127 1300GT back in the day, couldn't afford the Uno Turbo.

I had two of these cars, a red F plate for my second car when I was 18, (46 now). Exactly the same as this one. Then a white G plate later. I'd have another one tomorrow if I could find one.

[@mrv6uk]

A 25+yr old Uno has so much more soul than a modern day Audi, VW, BMW or Merc.. More interesting to look at too..

[@mazlogisticskhan3639]

I have own four of these, and one of the most reliable and fastest cars back then, but a different animal at 1.4 bar. Ricky would of love it, wheel spin city.
