I saw this article about a very low mileage Coupe for sale - only 840 miles....

I saw this earlier, curious lack of detail about it. Would a prototype Fiat be RHD?

It is a protype RHD car, there are mechanical differences between the two, not just the side the driver sat. for example the location of the brake servo assembly is not a mirror image of the original left hooker cars.

One of the things prototyping does is sort out assembly snags.

If I remember right Michael Ward from Autoitalia drove and reported on it.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

Sadly the Pistoheads article refers to it as a pininfarina design with no mention of Mr. Bangle. The advert shows the Sept 2017 Auto Italia article, but sadly doesn't show the speedo to confirm (or otherwise) the mileage.

I mentioned it on PH that I thought this was the car sitting about it Ireland somewhere. I could havé dreamt it though.
