Is RO51 the last RHD coupe made? #1545925

Hi
This is the first time I've ever posted on a forum, please forgive any errors in procedure.
I have owned my 20VTurbo for 12 years. The previous owners said she was 'special' as she was the last RHD & that Fiat Uk had kept her as an exhibition model & only registered & sold her Sept. 2001. She shows all the signs of being 'last of model' batch. ie. many specs 'used up' that are normally only on LE /Plus - 8 spoke wheels, 225/45 tyres, satin start, speedo/clock silver back yellow needle etc.
I have the vehicle ID. Not sure if it's advisable to post it? Sorry?
She is speed red, Immaculate/original condition, full service record, MOT to June '16, 25,000 miles.
Can anyone advise how to establish real provenance - AND would it increase her value if I decide to sell?
Hope I haven't broken too many forum rules with my first post????

There was one registered as late as 2002/2003 mentioned on here a few years back.

All turbo coupes from late '99 on had the 8 spoke wheels with 225/45 tyres, start button, white dials etc., so nothing out of the ordinary there.

You'd need to compare VIN number with others manufactured in late '99/2000 to be sure. There was also that batch of white RHD coupes that went to Japan at the end of production, so they may turn out to be the last RHD ones made.

Certainly a late one

We sold a 2003-registered Plus a couple of years ago, which is the latest I've ever come across

Sounds like a fine example! If that's 25k genuine milage, thats where most of the value is - as others have said, the "special" features were standard on late models.

Unfortunately, it still probably won't be worth as much as well maintained LE's in a few years time, regardless of milage.

Thanks for feedback & your welcome.
GrahamL, any idea how I get access to other VIN numbers of that time? Is their a web site?
Yep you're right, the White, made for Japan's , sound like they would be the last RHD's.
