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.
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.
