Years ago I had a red 3 door saloon 127 (odd it wasn't a hatchback, although it looked like it would be) and it was a great if very basic car. I remember that the washers for the front screen were operated by pressing a rubber button on the dash and the water for this was in what looked like a hot water bottle under the bonnet hung from two hooks. No motor there..
No radio as standard either. Loved that car though...
A few years later in a case of bangernomics I bought another one. This time in green. Cost me £100 and ran it for a year before getting £25 for it at the scrap yard. Proper budget motoring!
We were on a Greek island in June and I was astonished to see a white one parked off road next to a shed. Could not tell if it was road worthy, but brought back some happy memories....
