The Appeal
Originally introduced in 1985, the Fiat Uno Turbo was a welcome development over the standard Uno supermini. It offered a fantastic power-to-weight ratio and to this day, is the embodiment of everything we all love about retro hot hatches.
This particular mk2 Fiat Uno Turbo has been extensively restored at a Fiat main dealer, down to the nut and bolt in some cases. With the current condition of the vehicle, you could quite easily be fooled that this feisty hatchback had been frozen in time right after leaving the production line.
With an incredibly low number of these left on the roads worldwide, this is believed to be the best Uno Turbo on the market. The sheer lack of official parts available nowadays alone makes this pristine example worth more than money alone.
This Uno Turbo would make the perfect addition to anyone’s collection and would very easily serve as an eye-catching museum piece.
Vehicles with this amount of known history and paperwork are few and far between nowadays, making this Fiat Uno Turbo a true standout in the crowd.
The vehicle’s origin can be traced all the way back to the Fiat dealership where it was first registered, and then to its second owner, who worked at the said dealership.
The third keeper is believed to have also worked for Fiat and obtained the car from their colleague after quite some time of inquiring.
As the attached images from around 18 years ago illustrate, the third keeper chose to pamper the vehicle with minor aesthetic modifications in keeping with the times. It is these very same blurry old photographs that can be used to further verify the vehicle’s low mileage alongside the previous MOT history.
The 4th owner would keep the car for around 18 months, seldom using the vehicle and later passing it to the 5th registered keeper, who later passed it to her husband.
This gentleman owned the vehicle from 2005-to 2022, ensured the vehicle was dry stored, and also had the car restored with a Fiat main agent.
Upon the promise that the current keeper would continue to care for this incredible car, owner no.5 passed this mighty hot hatch to its new home where it currently resides.
Buyers will be pleased to know that this stunning Uno Turbo comes with a huge assortment of paperwork, including previous labour invoices, parts invoices, full forged engine specification paperwork, V5C document, and previous MOT certificates.
Perhaps one of the most impressive details to note, is that the car also includes the original service booklet, which boasts 17x stamps.
In addition to the above, the new owner will receive both keys, original handbooks, build sheet, and even the original inspection report.
Much like the exterior, inside this vehicle is a sight to behold. As part of the restoration, the car has received a huge assortment of interior parts, including each piece of trim and every switch.
With parts for this car being as rare as hen’s teeth, the sheer attention to detail with the interior restoration is mind blowingly impressive.
All seats are in fantastic original condition, and look absolutely incredible to this day. The headliner, carpets, door cards and trim pieces follow suit and help this interior feel as if you’ve perhaps stepped into a time machine.
In the boot, you’ll find more exceptionally clean carpet & trim pieces, along with the spare wheel and tool kit.
Overall, it is an incredibly pleasant environment to find oneself in, and only adds to the already exquisite experience that the car provides.
This Fiat Uno Turbo is simply stunning, and is in superb condition having been treated to a full restoration.
Other than just 2 incredibly minor touch ups on the edge of the doors, the white paintwork is absolutely flawless, and helps set this example far above others available today.
As part of the vehicle’s restoration, the car has been treated to new trim pieces, new glass, and new seals to name a few. The vehicle also benefits from a couple of tasteful modifications, including a 40mm suspension drop, mk1 badges and film-tinted fog lights for that retro rally-inspired look.
As mentioned above, this Uno Turbo is believed to be the finest RHD example available in today’s market, which is certainly very likely given the exterior condition alone.
The car would no doubt look fantastic as part of a collection, or as a show piece in a motoring museum.
As expected, this mighty Fiat Uno Turbo performs fantastically, without a single mechanical or electrical fault.
The car also benefits from the Wossner Forged Piston/PEC steel con rod package + h.d camshaft. Although the car is currently running standard power, this package enhances the engine’s strength and would support further tuning if desired in the future. The full engine build sheet from Coventry Automotive is available with the car’s paperwork, and details the full extent of the package.
The car has also been fitted with a new professional insurance recognized tracker for peace of mind, along with 40mm lowered suspension for aesthetic purposes.
