Hello everyone, thought i'd come on and introduce myself after buying Alan(arm)'s Electric Blue Plus over the weekend! I've been a long-term hawker on this site, I think I first registered back in 2009! I have for a long time, considered myself to be a Fiat Coupe person despite not owning one! I have been looking for the right coupe since January and finally this one ticked all the boxes. I was going to send her over to my local Italian car Indy for a check over but have subsequently found out he doesn't do coupes anymore! Is there anyone local to me that can suggest someone familiar with coupes where I might take her? I'm in Fleet Hampshire. Thanks, Chris

Hi Chris and welcome, Alan had told me that you had bought the Plus and were based in Fleet, and had seen my Porto 20vt in the past. This makes sense because I used to be in Fleet roughly once a week late afternoon/early evening up until a couple of years ago.
In the past I have done a lot of work on my Coupes myself, but am less inclined as I get older...In the past I have been mostly to see Rog at PowerItalia in Basildon, and Joe at FCSS at Upton upon Severn. But there are other specialists in the Midlands or further afield (I've used places in Wigan and Hull previously). I have used DTR over at Coulsdon once for a problem on my old 124 Spider, and they used to work on Coupes, not sure if they do now however.

Yes I'm in Lightwater, been here since 1992, Coupe is easy to spot when it's on the drive, but the neighbours think I have just one Coupe that changes colour from Blue to White and back again, and an extra digit on the number plate that comes and goes Drop in next time you are here!
