I believe Sprint blue was the official Italian racing colour pre-war.

What colour is the Italian international rugby shirt...sprint blue.

If I was ever going to buy a yellow car, it would be Fiat's yellow, as it's such a lovely yellow, but not a colour I could live with everyday.

After driving customers yellow ones to Mot stations, etc, I felt you always had to be a happy person to drive a yellow car everyday, which I'm not laugh

Favourite colours :- Sprint blue,Brooom yellow,Electric blue,Energy green and Chrono Grey.
Least favourite :- Metallic red and Scotts green.

Even though I love my Sprinty,when it comes to my next Coop it's gonna have to be a Broomer. The Coupé looks it's best in the solid colours IMO,also I love the way Sprint blue seems to glow under artificial light cool .

@ Shifty, cant believe you would have any apart from Moon Grey!
Have you seen one in the flesh before?

They are sort of multi-tonal, especially in the sun! Lovely!

I think the best colour is the one you're in at present.

I've had red, moon grey, ink and this electric blue one.
Each one was the best colour until I got the next one.


go faster daddy

Everyone has their own favourite but I think the defining Fiat Coupe colour has to be Broom yellow. That's the colour I allways noticed them in when they first caught my attention, it's the colour most widely used in brouchures from what I've seen and it's the colour I reckon they are in in the publics consciousness.
Mine is porto though as yellow is a bit too normal for me.

You're all wrong; there is only one proper colour for a coupe:

16v metallic black. Suave, sophisticated, subtle...

All the others are pale imitations, or look-at-me attention getters.
