Long story short, I sold my LE last month to buy a Red Plus, but a few weeks ago the owner decided to keep the car. Can’t blame him to be honest.

I just fell really lucky this week, after a quick PM to Nigel I found out that Motormech had just taken an Electric Blue Plus in, on 66k miles. So after a trip down to Birmingham yesterday with my son, we returned with a lovely Fiat Coupe Plus, and I’ve been smiling ever since!

Easiest Coupe I’ve ever bought, Nigel and Paul took a lot of time to point out any imperfections, gave me the history of the car, etc., so I can’t thank them enough!

The car is a credit to them… now down to some fettling of my own laugh

A couple of pics that Nigel took below, I'll post a few more soon.

Lovely looking car and with low mileage to boot.
I'm extremely jealous!

Great to meet you and your son yesterday - glad you like the car

TBH, this was one of the easiest sales we've had - the car did all the selling for us!

One of the nicest Coupes we've sold in recent years - not quite perfect, but still pretty good for a 15 year old Fiat..... It drove very nicely - always refreshing to drive a completely standard car after my modded example

Just as well Steve bought it, as I was starting to get tempted myself.....

Hmm, that coupè looks very familiar to me :-). Oh wait! it's my old Plus :-). I'm glad it's gone to a good home. Nigel and Paul are top blokes.

Thought I recognised the Reg.

Any coupe that has been owned by groundze is always a good one.

Is this the electric blue+ that got sold by Nigel/Motormech a few months ago?

It looks very nice, a good buy!

Great to hear from you groundze20vt, the car is lovely, you've really looked after it smile

Nope, this isn't the real low-mileage Plus that MM had for sale a few months ago, that one has gone on to yet another new home I believe, but Nigel said that this one is 90% as good, except higher mileage of course laugh

Well it's chucking it down here, given up trying to clean the car, thank you everyone for your kind comments smile

It is a lovely example ioksotot. The only reason I sold this is because I'm now the owner of motormech's real low mileage plus:-).

Would love to see pictures once you have done you're thing to it.

Yeah, absolutely, but to be fair there's not a lot to do. I think Nigel polished the car to within an inch of its life laugh

Flea remap next month, have some bits to sort out interior wise, but I'm going to keep it as standard as possible.

Hope you're enjoying your new purchase, never got to see that one in the flesh but I'd heard it was fab, you'll have to get some pics up of your own wink

Haha he did the same to mine before I brought it smile.

You will have to let me know how it goes after the remap as it felt pretty strong when I had it.

I'm absolutely loving it smile. I haven't driven it yet unfortunately as I'm currently having eye operations so I'm as blind as a bat atm lol. But I'm outside pretty much every day admiring it.... I think my girlfriend is getting a bit jealous laugh.

Hopefully, fingers crossed I can make it to auto italia this year as i've never been, and would love to see other people's coupès.

Gulp! That sounds painful, hope things go well shocked

Yeah, get yourself well and get down to Auto Italia, I'm sure your Plus will make a hell of a show-stopper with the coupé crowd laugh

It is indeed. Been busy tidying a few things up, but still a fair bit more to do (Isn't there always with a coupe laugh )

It's generally a cracking car and never fails to put a smile on my face.

Anyway, once you've done your fettling get some more pics up thumb
