Got this off the internet as seemed interesting and I'd not come across it before. It appears to have been released for the purpose of promoting the 5 pot engine to tempt people for a test drive. Its actually really good and very good quality.

EXCEPT .... what's inside the front cover - the weirdest audio CD that goes with it. Never heard anything like it. Very cheesy and a all a bit Alan Partridge-esk. The narrator claims to be a "hardened motoring journalist". I keep thinking that I almost recognise the voice and its on the tip of my tongue but after week still can't place it and its driving me MAD! Anyone know who the the culprit was?

Nice. Never seen one of those before.

If you decide to PDF it I'd be interested in a copy.

upload an mp3 so we can have a listen

Exactly mp3 it!

The original audio disc is printed with a 20vt wheel. It's a '96 launch brochure for the 20v models featuring a demo CD with sound.

People (club members only) who bought the limited edition, signed canvas print run also got a booklet that mentions this disc.

For more info I'm sure DaveG can jump in, with probably the largest collection of Coupe-rabilia.

Oh you mean this?

(as opposed to this

Now where did I put it? If nonbody else does an MP3 I'll see what i can do...

what happened to imgpop? Nothing - you just didn't use it right

I've got an original - it was sent to 16v owners in 1996 to persuade us to change to 20vt. The idea was that you read the words and played the CD at the same time.

hahaha the sound of fiat?? i so want to hear that as well

So, 14 years later, you managed to finish reading it then? And what's more, you believed the hype!

whilst driving your 16v?

Certainly not. I couldn't get it in the cassette player.

I found the CD's at last "archived" in the loft, I can do the 20vt booklet one, but the shaped Sound of Fiat CD only works in a music CD player so I need to rumage around for stuff to turn it into an MP3, unless anyone has any tricks to make shaped CD's work in a PC CD-ROM player (it thrashes around for ages then gives up)?

Maybe glue some extra bits to the sides to balance it up?

It'll put me out of my misery if you can. I've not found a way of sharing an MP3 yet on here like you can photos otherwise I'd have a go.

make an mp3 and email it to me and i will upload it to the forum for sharing....

pm me for my email :o)

Here is the file that Cyborg sent!

its...umm... odd

Is it Chris Barrie?

Sounded more like Barry Scott

Fantastic..

Thanks for uploading this Mario. After listening again (for as long as I could bear it as it doesn't improve over time I can assure you) it does now sound a bit like Chris Barrie (all very Mr Brittas)but still not 100% sure. Its utterly bizzare and can't have helped sales much!

I have one of those got it off the 'bay about 5 years ago some great pics in it.

De cat as standard ?

Got one of these from when they were first issued.

"...gazing,lovingly, at the dash!"

.....the CDs been on my ipod for several years
