Just joined the forum and club in last few weeks so just trying to get up to speed with everything. Just a introduction message really. Anyway, I've had this coupe in the attached picture file since June 2019 and have enjoyed owning it. Not had many issues with it. Had a oil leak which has been fixed but nothing else except maintenance. Looking forward to discussing more things about the coupe on here. Hope everyone is keeping well. Love my Coupe that I own.

Thanks everyone. Yeah it is a nice tidy example. I've parked it up for winter at moment under a car cover and battery disconnected etc. Not used it this year as much as I would've like for obvious reasons like lockdown etc. Hopefully next year will be able to use it more especially in spring and summer 😁👍

I just wanted to ask. Does anyone know what my fiat coupe colour is called? DVLA says it's light blue in the v5 document. Just wondered if anyone could tell looking at my picture in this discussion. Thanks.

Never heard "portaloo blue" before sounds closer to Sprint Blue isn't it? There's always Lavender too, and of course (for newcomers) murple is a portmanteau

You might be right Dave. It's been a long time since that term has been used

Sprint blue is clearly closer to the usual colour of a portaloo rather than our beloved Portofino which looked just like the colour of the sea lapping those Italian shores when I visited there in 2018
Doris the 1998 Portofino Blue 20V and Zoe the 1999 Alfa Romeo 916 Spider Bog standard needn't be boring...

Portofino just sounds cool and Italian to me but I'm a newcomer to these terms
It's the colour of the car tested by Autocar in 1996 when the 20VT was first launched and it looks very distinctive on the front cover. Autocar headlined the new engine as the new Cosworth!
It is still very distinctive 25 years later!
