1999 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo - full service history SOLD

I bought this Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo recently as a bit of a nostalgia trip (I had a Sprint Blue 20VT new in 1997 – P51 SJD, where are you now?), with the intention of addressing the paint issues and using the car for fun at the weekends. However, my head has been turned by another of my favourite 1990’s cars (Peugeot 309 GTI Goodwood) so I’ve decided to sell the Fiat, as my wife seems to think that you CAN have too many cars!

This car is in many ways the opposite of the “restored” car that hides a multitude of sins beneath a shiny respray. Mechanically and structurally this Coupe is in fine condition, having been owned for over 12 years by the previous owner, a mature lady who ensured the car was maintained and serviced meticulously. The only real downside is the condition of the paintwork, which really needs a respray, the rest of the car being in very good condition with just a few minor issues.

The service record and MOT history is epic, covering every piece of maintenance and routine servicing since new. There are 15 stamps in the service records, supported by a full set of receipts and every MOT certificate to authenticate the mileage.

The car has covered 111, 391 miles, an average of just over 6, 000 per year, and has been serviced 15 times during that time. The important 72K mile cambelt change was completed at 71, 362 miles in May 2006. The current MOT runs until 28th July 2015.

This Fiat Coupe drives very well indeed, pulling strongly and smoothly in all gears, the clutch operates correctly, and the oil pressure is good. The brakes are powerful and progressive (new front discs and pads fitted July 2013 at 105, 349 miles). The handling is sure footed and the steering feel is excellent. Tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread (Falken front, Continental rear).

The interior of the car is in excellent condition throughout, in particular the black leather seats, which are virtually unmarked with no sagging or wear evident. The rear seats look like they have never been used. The carpets, door cards, headlining and dash are all excellent. The boot area is clean, the spacesaver spare is unused, and there is a full toolkit, emergency triangle, replacement bulb set and locking wheel nut key.

There are a few issues with the car:

- Paintwork – the pictures make it appear better than it is! There is lacquer peeling, discolouration and fading to various parts of the paintwork
- Small dent to trailing edge of bonnet by passenger door
- Couple of rust bubbles along lower edge of passenger door
- Scratch to centre of bootlid
- Bonnet struts are weak
- ABS light on dash is illuminated. This is a common issue on the model, requires resetting via the OBD port or a replacement sensor
- Wheels need refurbishment due to lacquer peel and some light scuffs

In have taken a number of detailed pictures of the car, available to view on my Flickr site, please email me and I will send you the link.

In terms of paperwork, I have the full book pack that came with the car – owner’s manual, warranty/ service records, stereo information etc, all the old MOT certificates, and a full file of service and maintenance receipts stretching back to 2000. The car comes with all three keys – red, blue and silver metal. The V5 is in my name, and the car is currently SORN.

In summary, this is a very original and honest example of the 20V Turbo, with few owners and impeccable service history. It has not been thrashed or abused, or modified from standard specification in any way. Only the paintwork and a couple of niggles lets it down.
