This was my family car and we drove if from Poland over the Alps into Italy. Great workhorse and easy to fix. It was only when I got older and when we came back Poland for a visit that I realized how small it truly was. Upon our escape from Poland in 86’ we gave two nuns a ride when we got into Italy, it was tight. But looking back it must have been a scene 4 adults and two children getting out of the Maluch.

I drove an FSM Niki in 1991/2 for a few months and loved it. I found 70-kph ( 42-49mph) ok, 90kph (55mph) thrilling... I once wound it out to 112 kph (68mph) on a flat and that was thrilling too, but in the "I'm 19 and nothing can hurt me!" sense... but the time that taught me about being lucky was beyond any thrill and also terrifying. down a very long hill that little Niki got out of hand. it engine braked well enough for the less steep section and then once the steeper remaining decline had begun those little drum brakes went for a holiday. no idea how accurate that speedo is but I turned the engine off after it hit 125kph around a sweeping right hand bend. I figured the engine was the only brake I had and I had two choices. let it spin hard and maybe go beyond redline to destruction, or use the stopped engine's internal inertia to hold it back. I chose pulsing the clutch to spin the engine up then release it to allow the engine to slow, hoping that friction, inertia and compression slowed it. It worked, we got to the bottom of that run (there were 3 on board!) and took a break. I'm sure it would have went much worse if I'd let the motor spin as it wasn't really holding the car back once the thing sounded like hell in a bucket. The damn thing was hurtling down one section of that decline at about 147kph ( too fcuking fast) before it thankfully levelled a little. Yet I have wanted one ever since, and still do to this day.

The level of chaotic energy in this video is just... and the laugh!

I remember the day they were ceasing the 126 production, Polish Radio 3 had a special about it with a phone in. The listeners were very nostalgic about that funny little imitation of a car. One guy said he and a mate, on student holidays, had travelled vast swathes of Eurasia in it, usually carrying some spare parts and tools with them. Best thing about it was its level of complexity - or rather - lack thereof. One time it broke down somewhere in Kazakhstan, they took the whole engine out and fixed it in a public toilet. He said he was over 190 cm tall and had since had numerous "normal" cars, he still felt very emotional about the Maluch in which he'd travelled so much. Nearly everyone in Poland who remembers the 126, has some stories about them...

Thank you for bringing back some great memories of my youth! I spent lots of time in a 126p. Here are some ideas of how to enhance your 126p experience: 1. Take it down some dirt/grave/sandy roads, or maybe even on a beach. As it is very light, rear engined, and rear wheel drive, it gets through the loose/sandy stuff surprisingly well, and, in turns with loose surfaces, it is a 911 at 1/10th scale! 2. It is great for chauffeuring a person around: Remove the front passenger seat, and have your distinguished guest enjoy limo-scale legroom without stirring any anti-bourgeois backlash. You can have your luxury cake & eat it too :-). 3. Use it as a nimble in-town transporter: Remove the front passenger seat, slap on a luggage rack, and be the coolest and most effective courier around. The guys/gals from UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc. will turn green with envy, as will the bike courier folks. 4. Get a N126 caravan trailer, hook it up to your 126p (don't forget to gap the rear hood for better cooling) and go on holiday! The folks with the expensive teardrop trailers will match colors with the couriers mentioned above when they see you pull into the campground. 5. The 126p is a great car to teach somebody how to drive with (that is how I learned): It requires precision and concentration, and is great at teaching somebody how to drive by feeling. Also, in most cases, a little slip up at the controls can be compensated for easily and doesn't risk a major accident. It is a great at teaching smooth inputs, because, if you can become a smooth driver in a 126, your should be able to manage any other more modern automobile with aplomb. I hope this helps, and thank you once again for the trip down memory lane!

I remember my parents and me aged 10 travelling from Poland to Italy in that one. I also remember how embarassing it was to be overtaken by trucks on a highway...

I wish I had a friend like you in my childhood who had similar interests as you. This was the first family car and I have so many fond memories of this. Do not have the mechanical know how to maintain a car as such without fuel injection and no oil filter, so the confidence is not quite there considering that most of my local mechanics are also looking to build a receipt and not a relationship. I love the simplicity of this car, its engine note, the heat from the engine bay warming the seats, to the lack of a synchro all adds to it's appeal. Someday, I'll find a place where people aren't too busy looking to out-do the person next to them and possibly take part in silly things such as going through a drive-thru backwards. Good Luck Mr. Mat

The funny story about the Polish 303 squadron was that the British kept doubting their performance with the kill count of German planes. British ministry kept sending officers to observe the Polish pilots in action to see if they are exaggerating. The assigned officers kept going back singing such high praises that in turn they were also mistrusted - resulting in sending another officer to observe... which lead to sending more officers to audit... which brought them back to square one. They had several go before they gave up. "A Question of Honor: The Kosciuszko Squadron: Forgotten Heroes of World War II" written by Lynne Olson and Stanley Cloud is a great book on the subject. Reads like an action novel.

Mat thank you for a bit of history of 303 squadron !!! History that connect 🇵🇱 &🇬🇧 .

My Mum had two of these in the 1970s. In the first one we moved from Tadworth, Surrey to South Devon, and us three children and my Mum had to make the journey in a 126 with a very leaky sunroof... on a very rainy day. That journey will stay with me for the rest of my life. Dad, meanwhile, made the same journey by himself in his brand new Vauxhall VX2300, but I doubt he had as much fun. Although, according to your other video on this car, they would have been Polish, they were not badged as 'Polksi Fiat'.

Hi Mat, this video was thoroughly enjoyed by me, it is simple yet effective. This car still has a lot of life in it. Cheers

I haven’t laughed that much in a long time lol!! Funny episode Mat

I'm Polish. And I was laughing crying watching this😂😂😂. The best episode what I ever seen 👍👍

You made me laugh so hard Mat :))!!!! When I was a child we had one of this magic car , 4 people in and a huge suit case on top and we were ready to go all around Poland , amazing times :) !!!

That was brilliant :D had a laugh, it's nice you got our polish Maluszek, hope you get all the cars you want on your channel, subsribed for new videos.

I’m not polish, but in Serbia we call this car ‘peglica’ which roughly means small clothes iron.

Michael Wilson Your knowledge is stunning. Warsaw pact was signed in Warsaw and was another story. Thx to assholes like you more and more Poles think it was better to ally with Hitler. Imagine squadrons 303 and 304 bombing London and UK airfields. There would be nothing to invade afterwards. In Teheran and Yalta UK together with USA sold POland to soviet occupation. Soviets killed more people than nazis. Who is stupid, Mike?

Hi, I'm Polish and I would like to thank you for a great video about our national law, which is FIAT 126p, I myself "reworked" several models of this car, from the "toddler" from 1982, through FIAT 126 Bis, and ending with the model 126 EL that this is one of the coolest cars I had, in Poland there is such a joke about "toddlers as they are commonly called FIATY 126p, well:" toddler "is perfect but has one drawback, namely, the crumple zone ends on the rear sofa. And one more thing in Poland, often "baby" is called: lighter cough (from coughing engine) and my friend was tenderly saying "bee" to him. Best regards from the city of Łódź.

Why it was recommended to me only now?! Great video! Maluch was the first car I had a chance to drive myself. It's interesting seeing it on the streets of London! Thanks!

Nice of you mentioning the 303. It's one of those stories that aren't being told around much sadly.

I once did 110kph in that thing, I would have felt safer on a bicycle.

this reminds me my childhood, i was 14 when ive been driving this beauty Maluch:)

In former Yugoslavia it was a super popular car. It has a nickname "Peglica" [pronounced peglica, not peg-Lica] that means small iron (clothes iron). It is almost exclusively known by this name in that region. Original nick name in the region for the car was Tetrapak (Tetra Pak) as it resembled a carton of milk. After the refreshed model came to Yugoslavia under the designation "Polski Fiat 126P GL". Since PeGLa is a clothes iron and the car is small (ica being a suffix for making something miniature), the car got a nickname Peglica.

Ooooh that takes me back, I bought the very first one in Oxfordshire, it was denim blue with denim seats and absolutely gorgeous. It was my first ever brand new car. I used to park in Oxford at right angles with the rear wheels on the pavement. First journey it broke down and I called the RAC; he had to phone base because he couldn't find the engine, it was hidden under a rubber mat slung under the back seat, when he found the way in they had left some packing material inside stoping the accelerator from working. On holiday I drove from Oxford to Fort William and drove it to the top of the mountain above Strontium. It was the most unreliable car I owned and yet I loved it the most. It always turned heads. I eventually replaced it with a Cinquecento - winks

Greetings from Poland!

lots of memories thanks alot, remember adding remote control central locking to mine!

I remember travelling to visit my grandmother in the early 90s. There were lots of trucks on the road and I remember my parents say things like "Let's be careful...we're going to overtake now" as it was sometimes tricky, building up speed and making it before a curve. It's one of those things you don't think about these days, when driving "normal" cars. Another time, during another trip, we were driving behind a truck transporting square sponges, 1,8 m x 2,2 m, more or less. They were not protected very well and one could see them bounce all over the place. FInally, 3 of those things fell off the truck, which just kept on driving and took no notice of this. My parents and some other people (also in a Maluch) pulled over and picked up the fallen sponges (later, my parents used it to make a mattress which served them for the next 15 years). Here we were, my father behind the wheel, me in the passenger seat and my mother, lying on the sponge rolled up on the backseat, with her nose practically on the ceiling. All in all, we reached our destination without any problems.
