Well lads/ladies,

After the long search for the right Coupé I finally got one that I was happy enough with! Even though i had to travel 4 hours for it I don`t regret a single mile traveled! Its a 1999 Ink Black 20V Turbo.

The poor thing was left sitting for about 18 months as that fella was driving a company van, the engine bay was full of leaves, the engine oil was low ( had to top up 2 litters to get it to the middle of the hashed area), the disks were all badly rusted, the Air Condition is gone... Over all sad picture...

There is few scratches and dents as well but I didn`t mind that as long as the engine was minded well!

A got a massive Service History 90% of it carried by Fiat garages in Northern Ireland - driven by a Doctor at the time!
Then bought in 2006 for 10.995 Euros and registered in Southern Ireland owned by the same fella till the day i bought it, witch makes me the third owner of the car.

Now enough of the talk here is some pics of the exterior!



Engine + Boot! (needs a good clean)



Interior! (will be getting full valet next week)



Got all my keys and remotes + Code cards!



And now for the bad bits that need fixing...



But as with every car I normally buy I always start from the "heart" to the "body"!

Got this in the post the other day!



So next week all this is going in!



*Silkolene PRO S 5W-40 Ester Synthetic Oil For High Performance Engines*
*OIL FILTER: UFI spin-on oil filter*
*Motul DOT 5.1 brake fluid - long life 100% synthetic*
*Motul Motylgear 75W-90 Gearbox and differential lubricant Technosynthese*
*Motul INUGEL EXPERT Ready to use cooling liquid Anti-corrosion and anti freeze*
*CABIN FILTER: UFI cabin air filter*
*5 Spark Plug NGK 6437*
*Water Pump VALEO*
*Timing Belt Kit CONTITECH*

And the way she sits on the streets - Pure Beauty...



Owning that car is just... Feeling that is hard to describe!

Viva la ITALIA !!!

Nice mate, good to see another saved from impending doom

Very nice, and in the best colour too!

Lovely looking coupe happy driving

Well done buddy, lots of happy miles to you and your car

Excellent, glad you've finally got yourself one

Here's to hours of fun tending to/driving a great motor

Don't forget to change the cam sensor with the cambelt.

+1 to this. You'll soon get used to the funny looks and silly questions from people,
wondering what you're doing putting time, money and energy into saving a worthless old Fiat.

that is nice mate,a lucky find especially with all keys,2 meta fobs,code cards,booklet etc!

Coupe looks very good.
I wish you only good moments with your 20V Turbo

Welcome and well done!

She looks really nice.... you can always respray her Sprinty or Scots Green

Good luck and enjoy!!

But why would you want to devalue her?

The journey begins...hope all goes well.
