The first owner was the supplying Fiat dealer. The second owner bought it in 2005 and owned it until he died, his family stored it for a short while before selling it in 2020 to the third owner. He undertook a major mechanical and electrical recommissioning but after losing his job had to sell. I bought it from him in October 2020 when it had done 96, 000 miles. I am the fourth owner.

In my ownership I have…
- Fitted 18” black Alfa Mito alloys with 2 nearly new Firestone and 2 budget tyres. Also included are the original 17“ silver Blade alloys with Abarth centre caps, all with good Uniroyal Rainsport 3 tyres.
- Changed the exhaust back box for a SuperSprint twin exit exhaust, it has a nice deep 20v sound without being too loud. The original back box (rusty, but not blowing) can be included,
- Fitted Helko wind deflectors
- Removed the rear wiper. The motor, arm and wiper are included.

Running from this is a hands free Alpine Bluetooth phone and music streaming device which is included. This also has DAB radio with the supplied, but not fitted aerial. The original 6 disk changer is included.
- Genuine Abarth floor mats
Only 42 manual Abarth’s left on the road, less than the limited Stilo Schumacher edition. I’ve never seen another on the road!
Good condition and polishes up well but it’s not perfect, there are a few marks, knocks and signs of wear and tear as expected with a 17-year-old car. Inside is good, just a few marks on the driver's seat and the driver's door car material has come away and could do with re-sticking down. There are no signs of rust, underneath is very clean.
All electrics work including the air con, electric windows, sky roof, central locking, alarm, etc. although the alarm can be a bit sensitive at times.
On starting up there is a warning message stating that the oil level sensor has failed. A new sensor is included and just needs fitting at the next oil change.
It’s not compatible with E10 fuel without an additive, a bottle is included. I have always run it on E5 super unleaded.
Only selling as it’s my daily car and I increasingly need to do more and more miles as things get back to normal. It’s too good to use as I need to and would be better off with someone who can give it the easier life it deserves. I’ve attended many Italian car shows throughout my time with it where it has always been well received. It will be sad to see it go, I only wish I had the space to keep it as a weekend toy.
