Description

Fitted with a digital radio and bluetooth connection and a Nardi steering wheel (original also available). The car also has an immobiliser fitted.
The car has been maintained throughout since and has recently had a new fuel pump and spark plugs fitted. Starts and runs well, making for a perfect every day car or one for events and shows. The car appeared in Classic Car Weekly (June 1 2022) as a featured vehicle and was described by the journalist Russ Smith as 'probably one of the best available' and 'More fun than an MGB'. He also noted the cambelt change and servicing history.
Comprehensive documentation from 1985 onwards.
MOT and Road Tax exempt.
Two sets of keys and two immobiliser cards with USB charging lead. This Fiat 2000 Spider was US registered (Texas) and imported to the UK where it was first registered in 1985. It was later a bare metal restoration job carried out by Italicar, an Alfa and Fiat specialist, based in Norwich.
The restoration included a full conversion from US emission specifications as well as cosmetic upgrades including a new convertible roof and a change to a beautiful metallic Azure blue.
The current owner bought the car from Nick Dove's Bicester Sports and Classic Cars in May 2022. It was supplied with new tyres, a one year maintenance plan and a full service history including a USB stick with a video detailing the Italicar restoration work.
