The charm

The Barchetta was Fiat's answer to the Mazda MX-5, aiming to reclaim the market once held by the brilliant 124 Spider. Like the 124, the Barchetta stood out for its elegance, character and driving enjoyment, with a personality all its own.
Today these cars are sought after and make excellent weekend classics thanks to their versatility and reliability. The current owner has owned this silver example, registered in Belgium, since 2017. The car retains its original specification, apart from the black-painted alloy wheels. It is a well-kept example, offered with an APK (MOT equivalent) valid until July 2027.
