Judging by the photos the motor might be shot. May not be much to save.

Listing ended. Hopefully purchased to be restored and not broken....

Chrono looks better with a mould tinge?

I couldn't let it be broken in that colour so have rescued it pending it checks out ok, its in a bad way as the chap selling moved it with a fork truck to strip it !!!!
they had started taking wheels and brakes off when i called so i said put it back together and ill take it whole, will restore if it's not rotten wink

Lets hope it can be saved. Surely moving it with a forklift must have damaged it somewhat

LE number 1150.

http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Main=18476&Number=231078#Post231078

It doesn't belong to the guy selling it on ebay, the owner parked it there for storage a couple of years ago and has disappeared without paying anything.
The owner of the farm has asked the ebay chap to get it gone hence the ebay ad.
There's no paperwork, keys or front Brembo calipers, they had to break into the car to smash the steering lock off.

In all very sad as it's apparently rust free frown

Yep, the seller checked while I was on the phone and it's confirmed on the LE register as Chrono.

I must say I'm a bit confused??? Has anyone actually spoken to the original owner of this car?

If some sold one of my cars without my knowledge i'b be in transit to collect it back.

Would like to know the story behind leaving a car there and disappearing? Well done for saving though - even if you have no papers?!
