1996 Fiat Barchetta Spider (LHD)
The 1996 Fiat Barchetta Spider is a compact Italian roadster that captures the spirit of open-top driving with simplicity and style. Launched during the 1990s revival of affordable sports cars, it combines clean, minimalist lines with a lively 1. 8-litre engine and front-wheel drive. Light and agile, the Barchetta delivers an engaging drive and timeless Italian design.
This car has clearly been enthusiast-owned and is presented in Midnight Metallic Blue with a re-trimmed interior, period aftermarket alloy wheels and uprated coilover suspension.
It drives superbly, with pinpoint steering, excellent roadholding and a fantastic exhaust note; it’s fast become a favourite of everyone here at New Elms.
With 135, 000 km on the odometer (approx. 85, 000 miles), the body and paintwork are in lovely condition. The roof is in great order and operates as it should. Overall, it’s a fantastic little car—ready to enjoy on English B-roads this summer.
MOT’d in February 2026 with no advisories, and a clean advisory history for the last three years.
There’s a thick file of receipts and plenty of MOT history, plus an original Barchetta brochure and a copy of Autocar from 1995 featuring a period road test.
Available to view and test drive at our Reading dealership.
Price: £5, 995.
