Searching for specs on steering wheels, I found THIS

nice find, i actually like that spoiler concept..... dont worry im not going to cut mine up.

I'm a big fan of the Barchetta

It's a lovely car to drive, feels really solid and handles well and doesn't have that horrible scuttle shake that Alfa Spiders seem to suffer from.

Maggiora even had this in mind as a concept

I have these pics on the pc from when I was looking around for seats.
The first two are from a right hand drive conversion.

They are nice looking cars. Although I don't think I would choose this interior myself.

They seem to hold their value better than the Coupe? Which seems odd, LHD etc.

Same in Sweden.. Weird. Only reason must be it's a cab.. It is a much less of a car than the Coupe I think, and not very good looking in my eyes. It does seem to be a fine drive.

Per you're obviously biased: I take it the Maserati barchetta get's your votes hands down douze points

I'm another Barchetta fan - always fancied one. Its on the 'to- do' list especially given todays prices. A mate has a nice yellow one. I like that quilted interior dlong......though as an LE'fetish I would wouldn't I!
That was the Barchetta LE interior - and yes it was the identical steering wheel.....

Those headlights look familiar!?

Yes Bangle's Misses' rear end!

1998 LE's (including numbered badge similar to coop's):

1999 LE's:


IMHO the steering wheel looks identical but differs in size:

I did post in the 'show your steering wheel' thread that although they look the same the splines are different apparently!
If you read the 3rd post by c3ere and the 6th post down by Paganali Panda it does not fit.

Concept? You can buy this car!

MAGGIORA!

Nice! And they eBay one!

I think the styling is quite distinctive. Not sure about the later third brake light though.
I remember the first time one sailed passed me, 316 on the way to Teddington. I later found out what the silver car was. Barchetta, Little Boat. ( correct me here)
I think the rear light styling is defining as much the Coupes is. I honestly know very little about them, other than its on a level of seeing the Coupe and wanting one.

I have told this tale before here, but many years back in Dubia I visited the Fiat showroom. The Alfa was next door or one down.
They only sold 'top of the range' Coupe, salesman talk. So leather and aircon. The price of £16,000.00.

Also the salesman mentioned that a guy from the UK had bought a Barchetta from them a year previously was returning to the UK and shipping his car back. He would not loose money on it but may even make a profit even after shipping. That was the story.

I think it would make nice company for the Coupe ( this isn't going to happen) I don't think if I was in the situation of looking, I wouldn't compare what else you can get for the money etc. it would be a gut buy.
It's pretty and unique.
My opinion.
