Hi all,
I'm Mark and after a long search for a sprint blue 20vt,i finally brought one last week,seems it was an old forum car,reg is V233KEC.
The car has a great history plus all keys & red card & original dealer plates,6 fiat stamps at the supplying dealer and then 10 by Motormech. Brought the car as a resto/project as the bodywork has seen better days[rusty rear arches and lacquer peel etc} and there are lots of other jobs to do.
Cant wait to get started,will be picking all your brains for advice.
I will put some photos on after i work out how to do it !! Cheers folks.

Haha, not been on here for a while but do occasionally sneak a quick look, and then saw this.

It was indeed my car for 6 years. Bought it from a chap in the Lake District who was selling to fund the ground up restoration of a Jaguar E Type. After selling the Coupe I briefly flirted with a Clio 197 before settling on a long term Audi B5 RS4 as a daily drive.

Still miss the Fiat though and always tempted by another Coupe but as I've only one parking space, just the RS4 will have to do for now.

Any info you need feel free to PM me, might take a little while to respond as I'm not on here very often these days.

Good luck with the restoration, it's a great car in the best colour, look forward to seeing the progress smile
