Description
1999 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo | One Lady Owner from New | Full History | Fresh MOT & Cambelt
A beautifully presented 1999 Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo that has been owned by just one private lady owner from new.
This car was very much her pride and joy, and she enjoyed 26 years of ownership, using it regularly and maintaining it carefully throughout that time. It has clearly been beautifully looked after, remains an honest and largely original example, and presents extremely well today.

Registration History
The car was purchased new in June 1999 with the registration T432 MLD.
It was subsequently placed on the registration 4886 R, which remained with the vehicle until 2019, when the owner decided to return it to its original registration number.
⸻
Service History
The vehicle has been maintained throughout its life, with the majority of the early servicing carried out by Pinneys of Luton, a Fiat main dealer at the time.
Serviced by Pinneys of Luton (Fiat Main Dealer) at:
• PDI
• 12, 164 miles
• 22, 727 miles
• 34, 417 miles
• 38, 998 miles
• 43, 760 miles
• 49, 446 miles (including cambelt replacement)
The car was then serviced at Anthony Betts & Co, who we believe were also a Fiat dealer at the time, at:
• 54, 387 miles
• 64, 000 miles
More recently the car has been maintained by Harts Motors, with a service recorded at:
• 74, 883 miles
In 2018, the car was fitted with a Powar Italia exhaust system.
The owner has also retained an envelope containing many of the vehicle’s previous tax discs, which is a lovely historical touch and reflects how carefully the car has been kept over the years.

Preparation & Work Being Carried Out
We purchased the car in the autumn of last year and have recently begun preparing it for sale.
• Minor paintwork completed
• Small amount of fabrication work carried out to the arches
• Previous MOT advisories currently being addressed
• Will be supplied with a fresh MOT and no advisories
• Full cambelt service being carried out (due to age rather than mileage)
Like many cars of this age there have been various MOT advisories over the years. Having inspected the vehicle ourselves, we feel many of these were overly cautious, as the car is actually a very solid and well-presented example that can be used and enjoyed.

Previous Owner
The previous owner told us:
“I have owned the car from new, having had 26 years of fun and enjoyment from it.
It has been my daily driver and has given me a lifetime of trouble-free motoring, as shown by its clean history and mileage.
Until very recently I used it regularly and it has always started and driven well.
Given my own time in life and the type of vehicle it is, I think it’s time to let it go.”

Summary
A very well cared for and much loved Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo, with the benefit of one owner from new and comprehensive service history, much of which was carried out by Fiat main dealers for the majority of its life.
A genuine, honest example that presents beautifully and is ready to be used and enjoyed by its next owner.
Well-maintained and genuine examples of the Fiat Coupe 20V Turbo are becoming increasingly difficult to find, particularly with one-owner history and such comprehensive documentation.
Viewings welcome. Any inspection welcome. Serious enquiries invited.
