Anonymous Unregistered A	there was indeed a convertible version of the fiat coupe. See link below: www.fiatbarchetta.com/prototype/birth.html [image]http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a205/petebarchetta/c2ndf.jpg[/image] Last edited by petebarchetta; 21/12/2005 23:52.

Anonymous Unregistered A	I have seen a picture of a 'concept' coupe convertible and it looked the absolute dogs boll*x. Not like the toy-ish version you found. (sorry for swearing, but it was essential) Like an idiot I never saved the pic, but I am sure someone will have it... I am sure the car was white, or pearlescant or something I will also ask good ol' mum tomorrow to ask about in Turin what the deal was with that. She might be able to find out what the score was with that.

You could tell, the shadows were all wrong, showing the roofline of the real car in the original pic. The pics in this post look like there was actually a plaster model of a topless Coupe tho.
