It's a fair bet that Gaz at Solo Italia knows all about it... it's been done a while.

I'm not interested in buying, just wondered if it was on the radar so to speak.

Well it's the first time I've ever seen this shocked I personally wouldn't want a diesel anything (unless it was a motorhome perhaps smile ) but there are a few on here been looking for diesel run arounds or wandering what to do about increased commuting. I'm surprised Nigel or someone in the same boat hasn't snapped this up smile

Thing is, it's got the wrong engine in - as far as I know (please correct me if I'm wrong, Gaz) that's the old Tipo 90bhp turbo diesel, not the rather more enthusiastic 1.9 or 2.4 JTD...

Otherwise, I'd have been at it already!

If it had the 2.4 JTD engine, I would have been very interested.
I obtain diesel fuel at 19p ltr (legally) and is one of the reasons I'm selling my coupe.

19p per ltr?

I pay £1.20 per ltr.
Even the laundered diesel over here is about £1.13, though I'd never put that gunk in my car.

Can I drive a tanker over to you and can you put me down for 1,200 litres? laugh

Yeh it is only a tipo engine so dosent set any speed records. It was just very easy to do as theres nearly no wiring as its so old skool.
