Is it RHD? Some of the pics are reversed, look at the number plate.


16VT and X1/9 1500 + e208 Peugeot

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.

Is it really that bad?

Re-condition the wheels to standard alloys silver.
Wing Mirros back to original colour.
Rear light cups back to original colour.
Possibly change the front bumper, (although it's a bit of a marmite bumper, the 360 unit...)

Car would be okay after that.

Bodywork looks reasonable to me as well.

No comment. I've learned my lesson. It's probably a beautifully maintained, considerately driven coupe owned by a mature, sensible enthusiast. Many people will regard the modifications as sympathetic and representing a significant improvement on the original car.

You are a bit biased about the colour! Do you have another Coupe yet, that one in your sig looks lovely! wink

Wow! where to start?

first of all, "BREAKING OR SPEARS" I know she's having a rough time of it at the moment, but does the seller really think Britney is going to be obtained in exchange for a badly maintained Fiat coupe in Britain?

"windsceen go crack" Again, I don't think that class "A" drug dealers really want a windscreen for drugs, do they? I think he'd be far better off perhaps asking to swap for a spell-checker. ANY spell-checker.

Finally, "engine goog cond" where does goog fit in, is it better than mint, or somewhere between very good and mint?




Coopless!

Hey 20V_Coupe I never really cared for the Maroon colour fiat but seeing how nice yours looks with the LE trim and looking so shiny its hard not to like it

Not sure how you keep the car running being a dirty student though tongue.

I'm happy to say you sold it to me. cool

Last time i talked to Arthur was April this year, he was kind enough to forward a disc with all the pics of the Coupe when it was his. thumb
