The Appeal
The Barchetta revived a lineage of nimble and elegant little roadsters that Italian automakers seemed to have forgotten since the original Fiat 124 and the Alfa Spider. Built on the proven Punto platform, 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 maintained and remains factory original down to the 15-inch steel wheels and durable fabric interior with its period Fiat radio. It hits the market with recent service in March 2026 and a current MOT valid until July 2028.
