... and for sale at around £12,000. In Holland unfortunately. Has actually had some interior items replaced because it came with some blemishes from the factory. Has been sitting in a garage under a carcover away from the sunlight for 12 years, but used 'sometimes' in the summer.

Just look at the 15 pictures.

I wouldn't know what to do with it. I think owning a nice car involves using it. For me it has to fit a need.

With low mileage like that I'd be scared to look directly at it, let alone drive it.

Is this one of the lowest mileage coupés out there?

Exactly, would much rather have a used but loved and looked after example. Surely it's not good for a car to be sat and used so infrequently.

Always feel a bit sad wandering around car museums etc, especially racing cars - just feel like they should be out being thrashed and looked after. frown

Correct if it's not conditioned, wet, exposed to sunlight. If it's kept away (and cared for as the owner did - second hand information from the company that took care of the maintenance and parts) it should be in factory fresh condition.

Anyways, I would consider this an opportunity for someone who actually wants to buy a factory fresh, just-running-it-in mileage Coupe, whether his reasons are to put it in a museum or put 10.000 miles a month on the clock.

If it was a turbo I would go and visit my bank manager or cash some shares in I have towards my retirement. Then I would drive her. I only cover about 2,500 to 3,000 a year in my Coupe so she would last me years.

What a find. I would even be able to bring myself to love the colour. I hope she goes to a good home.

Stunning... almost looks as good as mine wink. That leather interior looks sensational, but I'd be so afraid to sit in her!

Phew, the chances of seeing a car that ceased production 12 years ago in that sort of condition are the stuff of dreams, but the grey in spite of its newness doesn't turn me on, especially inside. In fact it's only the cheeriness of the upholstery colour that steps in to save it.

Someone though living abroad if they're quick is gonna get this once in a lifetime opperchancity..... wink

I know a guy with a 20v turbo, metallic red on a 2000 plate which has.......13,000 miles on it.

Unfortunately it's not for sale, at the moment.

The question is, is it looking like new? I have a metallic red 20v turbo plus in my garage at the moment with 45k miles and it doesn't even come close to half my mooney.

The moonie is lovely. I have never seen a Coupe like that, stunning. I had no idea the horns were originally that colour either.

Why sell it....if it stays for another let's say 15 years in this garage, it will double it's price.
If it was mine, i wont sell it.
Just imagine Fiat Coupe in this condition after another 10 years.
Well......only the turbo miss.....:)

I know what you're saying, but take into account 4% inflation every year (compounded) = 80% over 15 years, so it's 20% growth, ie just over 1% real capital gain a year.

Do it because you value the car not because of what it will do to the value of the car
