Hi

Having owned Coupes since 1999 and an Electric Blue Plus since 2010, I recently also became custodian of LE #89.

I feel like a custodian as I appreciate how rare these are now, I certainly feel more protective of the LE!

I was looking for another Plus (Moon Grey) but none appeared so when I stumbled across this LE my mind was changed.

It has (only) 79k miles on the clock having only done a few thousand in the last four years. It appears to have been well looked after by the previous (3) owners. Lots of service history and very little/no rust (yes, I checked all the usual places).

The black paintwork is very good, no lacquer peel, fading or blemishes. Interior is also very good condition, the front seats did require some Gliptone treatment but, like most other Coupes, the rear seats appear rarely used.

It is standard and and the original FIAT branded Clarion headunit was in the boot when I collected it .

After a belt and clutch change, all other parts likely to have needed replacing have already been replaced in last few years (e.g. oil cooler and pipes, radiator, etc).

Oil pressure only goes as low as 2.5 bar when hot idle and engine & turbo pull very well with no smoke.

So, hopefully LE #89 is in good shape and I plan to keep it that way!

One less LE for patch234 to acquire and take responsibility for laugh

Looks lovely Alan, don't see many around in that colour either. It's a great feeling knowing you own one of these isn't it smile

Congrats and keep us up to date with it. You'll need to register it on the LE database on here...
