ebay item....281689161115 Listing for this ended in mid afternoon when most are out at work. He didn't reply to any messages I sent him and therefore it sells for 122 quid !! Ok , it needed a bit of work,[ quoted £ 400 of work by fiat, so thats probably 100 elsewhere !! ] had no MOT i believe but the bodywork and interior looked very good , nice black alloys , good tyres,led back lights etc etc. Couldn't even see any scuffs on the bumpers ! Bit worrying how a 20v can go so cheap, even without MOT.

Why do you want another coupe ? And another na ? You've got two lol If you brought a third you want something different like a turbo  Not surprising at sale value Na's fetch a lot less than turbos . Price of car £140 Mot repairs £400 No speak of clutch / cam belt probs best part off £600 there So we're already over a grand ?? Sadly speaks volumes

I would loved to have known what was wrong with it and what had been done. It looked very well looked after, just can't understand why people don't answer queries ? At the end of the day, a coupe is a coupe, just that one goes faster than the others . If he had have had the clutch and belts done, he either didn't give a monkeys or he cocked up big time !

i think some people need to elaborate bit more on whats wrong with it, £400 for brake repairs, but what repairs though ? itd maybe gone for more instead of putting people off by putting £400 brake repairs.
mind you someone has a bargain, but id imagine itll get broken up for getting it that cheap, sellers loss really!

I know, it really bugs me. A few odd jobs to put right and now its probably going to be broken up. I'd have had it and fixed at my leisure, at least it may have survived . The bodywork on the pics looked good, interior sound, may have got rid of the spoiler , lets hope an enthusiast has got a bargain and not a scrappie who's going to make a few bob.
