The Appeal
The Barchetta revived a lineage of nimble and elegant little roadsters that Italian car makers seemed to have forgotten since the original Fiat 124 and the Alfa Spider. Built on the proven mechanicals of the Punto, it was a success and today represents an excellent choice as a modern classic.
Despite all this, these cars are becoming hard to find, particularly with mileage as low and condition as good as this 1996 silver example. It's very well looked after and remains factory original right down to the 15-inch steel wheels and durable fabric interior with its period Fiat radio. It comes to market with recent servicing in March 2026 and a current MOT valid until July 2028.
