Hi Jayzee - still got the TVR ?

No mate, sold it after a year.

I don't tend to keep anything beyond a year, much to the disgust of the wife!

Shiny silver Consoles

I take it you can't get these from Fiat then now

You should still be able to - just need to find a friendly dealer that can be bothered to order one for you.

Definately not, I still think the comment "described by specialists as the best of the country" will have made some people raise their eyebrows and scared a couple away. As for the "I would be interested if it actually was at that price": well I AM interested!

If you want the uncreased leather look, it is not that difficult to achieve. I have done it countless times on many cars.

Firstly, make sure the seats are clean.

Use gliptone conditioner, and apply it in direct sunlight - the hotter the better.

The heat from the conditioner with the sun will "pop" most of the creases out

Keep repeating this as it takes quite a bit of conditioner to get them out. I tend to do this excecise over a few days, as doing it just the once doesn't work too well.

Don't bother doing this in winter months - it won't work.

Gotten rid of nasty sharp dings from objects that have damaged leather seats this way too.

2002 Audi S8 as an example...



Back on topic... This car is a beauty, and one of the best ones out there for sure. There are better, and there are worse of course too

You have to make a call as to whether it is worth the asking price as it is pretty much a forgotten Fiat now.

Any car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it, and I can tell from those photos that allcouped up had spent a lot of money on it since my brief ownership.

Would I buy it back? Probably not, and cartainly not at that price.

Steve at Alt Autos had some, as I did a group buy from him years ago, if not I bought them from Desiri...

nice LE

shame I'm not a fan of red cars, but nice nonetheless

I think the deal breaker is wether the jacket fits you or not!

As nice as it is, it's a little out of fashion

I had a little run down to Lipscomb today to get something for the Abarth and while I was there I got them to look up to see if this was still available on ePer.....

The only 20vt centre console they had listed that wasn't the standard finish was described as 'Trek Grey'. If thats the one, then £168 +vat to you Sir

I think I'll be going for the bottle of mild methylated spirits and a can of Fiat 551 Beige Shave Mica

Just popped in to have a look at this while I was walking through Stansted. Really tidy car. Love the silver fuel cap, grill, rear light bezels, and headlight inserts. £5495 though
