Saw this whilst perusing eBay - a 1.7 16v in an Arna. Don't quite know what to think of it

the 16V doesnt make it any more attractive...begs the question, why would someone make that conversion?

I would love to take an Arna home to Denmark from Italy. Just for upsetting those last purists who aren't put of by my FWD Alfasud

i would have one now for a laugh as people would think it was just a old nissan then beat them from the lights .
i knew someone years ago putting a 1.6 lancia delta engine into an old boxy yugo .

I've seen a few old Yugos with Fiat X1/9 motors used for autocross in America. Fast and cheap.

Well the seller closed the auction for some reason. I was looking at the engine pic and this engine seems to have carbs fitted.
