Description
Grab yourself a modern classic in lovely condition.
Probably the finest example of the iconic Fiat Tipo 1. 4ie in the country and made famous by the irrepressible Inspector Montalbano television series.
With only 26. 6k miles on the clock since new, this modern classic has been in our family for most of it's life having been purchased in 1994 by my late father and passed on to me, hence the three ownership record.
The car has been well looked after and garaged during ownership, the paintwork or interior being in excellent condition with no stone chips on the exterior and a 'No Smoking' , 'No Pets" ticket.
The vehicle is a genuine five door hatchback with the rear bench seat folding forward to provide a large load space in the back.
The spare wheel carried below the rear load mats has never been on the road. The petrol engine starts and runs perfectly and is economical returning a consumption rate of 8. 9 litres per 100km on an urban cycle, 5. 4 litres per 100km at 90km/ hr , and 7. 3 litres/ 100km at 120km/ hr.
The gearbox is a five speed manual providing excellent performance in all gears, fifth gear acting as a fuel saving overdrive on motorway journeys.
The vehicle benefits from electric windows in the front driver and passenger doors with manually operated windows in the rear passenger seats which are also fitted with seat belts.
The Fiat is fitted with the original Grundig radio / tape player and has recently had a new Lucas battery fitted.
Recently renewed, timing belt, wheel cylinders all round, drive belt, front pads, exhaust rubbers, wiper blades, together with a full engine service oil filters etc. Service invoices available.
The vehicle comes with the two original keys and owner handbooks for the car and the Grundig radio/ tape player and the current V5 registration document.
With an MOT until September 2026 and fully serviced , the vehicle is ready for use , showing or adding to a collection of classics. I have known this lovely little car for some thirty one years and have enjoyed driving her for some of that time.
With plenty of zip and character she is a reliable and robust vehicle in excellent condition for her age.
I will be sorry to see her go but space and location are pressing and it is time she continued her journey with a new owner.
