It's over on retrorides. Cheap and looks like a decent example too.

The 100s or 100s ie is the one to have.

2 litre performance from a 1600.

We use to have a 100s and it flew. Did think of going down the 130tc route, but a Mirafiori Sport changed my mind.

The 130TC idea would be a hoot

What's a regata 70C? We had the 100S and the 85S!

Regata 70 was a 1300cc version as I recall, we got them over here.

I worked in a fiat dealership in the early 90s,and the boy did we know the regatta was the last of the non galvanised Fiats , We had some completley rotted out by 5 years old, one poor bloke came in complaining of tyre wear , to be told the front inner wings were spreading outwards cos the were no longer attached to the front valance. The turbodiesel had a bit of poke though, we had to fit one with 2 Ritmo/Strada doors on one side under rust warranty cos Regatta ones were unavailable, so it had to have the semi circular door handles on one side and rectangular on the other.
We had only one customer with a 100S, cracker of a car.

There was a middle aged fella on the A22 Godstone Road, Whyteleafe who owned a light blue Regatta
with Integrale rims and 130TC running gear. I used to see it outside his house whenever I visited my mate Pearcey at Caterham back in the late 90's. 

The bloke took it to the Chelsea cruise a couple of times, I saw it running there and it went like no other Regretta I ever saw  .
