On the Surface: This is a clean example of a late ’90s Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo, finished in eye-catching Sprint Blue with a Black leather interior. Having been owned by the vendor since 2015, it has seen only three owners from new.

Maintenance & History: The car comes with an extensive history file, including invoices amounting to over £16,000, MOT certificates dating back to 2001, old tax discs, and the original Fiat bookpack containing the Owner Handbook and Fiat Aftercare booklet. The service history is well-documented, with 10 stamps recorded between 1998 at 1,344 miles and 2011 at 111,630 miles. The cambelt has been changed twice, once on 07/07/2004 at 72,000 miles, and again on 07/09/2011 at 111,630 miles. One significant invoice sticks out which amounts to £3,600 from June 2016 for welding work, bodyshell repairs, and a repaint. Additionally, the car comes with all three original keys.

This Fiat Coupe has been well cared for over the years, as evidenced by the comprehensive documentation and the substantial amount spent on its upkeep. Notably, it is one of just 346 examples registered for use in the UK out of the 72,762 produced.

The Model: The Fiat Coupé, manufactured between 1993 and 2000, is a two-door, four-seater coupé introduced at the Bologna Motor Show in December 1993. This model, the 2.0 litre five-cylinder 20v Turbo, is the most powerful variant, producing 220 BHP. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in just 6.3 seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph. The Fiat Coupe features a Viscodrive limited-slip differential and independent suspension all around, to enhance handling and performance.

Sale Insight: This Fiat Coupe 20v Turbo is a well-maintained and rare example, with a rich history and significant investment in its maintenance. Its low number of owners, extensive documentation, and overall rarity make it a compelling choice for collectors and enthusiasts looking for a classic sports car from the late ’90s.
