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.

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 Last edited by Burbum123; 18/05/2015 18:27.

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 !

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.
