That center console is identical to the one in my Sprinty, I don't know where it came from. Either Rog or Shippy must have aquired it during their respective ownership - quite rare I believe?, it's not 'rubberised' I like it too transforms the interior IMO whatever the colour of the car

That cross is, for me, an essential safety feature. Perhaps even more than the spider in the mirror.. It has been proved and tested to avoid accidents, especialy when elderly are involved. Also I need to get that cross in my 20vt a.s.a.p. in case I (nearly) run into any traffic jams again.

Either Rog or Shippy must have aquired it during their respective ownership - quite rare I believe?, it's not 'rubberised' It probably is the same centre console, years ago I organised with Steve @ AA a group buy, Steve bought about a dozen of these silver consoles and various parties purchased them. So you will have the exact same console, the silver special edition console

Cool & there still isn't a mark on it, not even by the DIN aperature Here is is on a Sprint Blue: If there are any left I reckon it would stir sufficient interest to get them outed on a group buy

As said, it's not a slow car. It's about as fast as a Mk I Golf GTI, well maybe a bit slower but not much In this day and age I find it more fun to drive than the 20vt. With the 1.8 you actually get to go all out in rare ocassions, in the 20vt reaching 4000rpm means it's time to hit the brakes, urgently. But then again compare the 1.8 to a 2.0 turbo and it seems to be standing still.

I shudder at the strain on that poor little engine though. It's the same unit that's in my Barchetta, which is several hundred kilo's lighter!
i'd imagine its almost identical in performance to the 2.0 16v n/a. its not staggeringly fast, as you would expect, but by no means a slouch, and in comparison to the five pot, far more willing to rev right through the whole rev range and pull strongly. its fair to say that given the coupes lardy waistline, the n/a engines do have to work harder than perhaps they should do, but then again - if the coupe was a bit lighter the 200-220bhp of the VT variety would seem even better as well.

Yes it does pfoe. And there's another special feature only to appear on this Last Edition. It's related to the wing mirror Anyone?

Some great photos there.
Brought back memories of the first Coupe (a 1.8) I ever saw which was in May 2000 in the Fiat showroom in Oslo.
Coupes were never offically imported "Downunder" although New Zealand received them.

A small hint: it's colour related.

There's a moon grey SE for sale in Belgium. So that proves they came in more than just black and astral blue. @Klaas: the moon grey one on display might not be a proper SE as this lacks the colour coded headlights and mirror tips. To me this looks like one of those late examples wearing bits and pieces of what was available at the time of assembly. I've got a picture of an ink black SE somewhere. Provide me your email address and I'll send it over to you for investigation Here's a genuine SE:
