The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Rolling off the production line in 1999 this car has a very well-documented history
• Before the current owner acquired the car for the first time, it was a one-owner car
• Since then it has had two other loving owners 
• So, although the V5 will add up to 6 owners, the car has effectively only had 4
• The current owner is one of the UK's best specialists in these types of cars
• Thanks to this the car has been looked after perfectly with a long list of upgrades/maintenance
• It has had a new engine fitted in the past which was said to have 80,000 miles on it 
• It has also received brand-new belts, tensioners, a clutch, silicon water pipes, and a hybrid turbo
• There is also a long list of modifications that have turned the car into the perfect 20V turbo
• A new rear gearbox mount was fitted, along with new engine mounts
• New radiator lower support and a new A/C condenser
• New hand brake cables
• Refurbished centre console
• Refurbished rocker cover and a new rocker cover gasket
• The engine was also serviced before it went back in 
• On all corners, you’ll find Bilstein shocks and Eibach springs
• To let that 20V engine sing an aftermarket exhaust has been fitted 
• You’ll also find a lot of original Fiat paperwork, along with older MOTs and V5s
• With all of this work carried out this car is raring to go
• All you need to do is get in and press the start button and away you go
• It may be hard to find a better example anywhere in the UK 

The Interior

• Opening the door of this coupe reveals a typically Italian interior 
• Full of bold colours and leather it is an excellent place to watch the miles tick on by
• The leather seats all look to be in great condition 
• Given the age, you can allow for some slight wear marks to the drivers bolster 
• The steering wheel is also finished in the same two-tone leather combination 
• At your feet, you’ll find a set of metal pedals, a must in any sporty coupe
• The headliner is slightly sagging, but there is a new one in the boot that can be fitted when you get the car
• The centre console has been refurbished to get rid of any sticky buttons that plague Italian cars of this age
• You’ll also find a more modern, USB compatible, radio in the centre console 
• On the floor, the deep black carpets are in great condition
• Even the boot space is in very good condition
• Under the boot floor, you’ll find the space saver spare wheel
• Overall, the interior is in amazing condition 
• It is just waiting for you to hop in and get going on your next adventure

The Exterior 

• Doesn’t the Fiat 20V Turbo just have looks to die for?
• Once you pick your jaw up off the ground you can start to see some of the beautiful styling 
• Up front the combination of a low-slung and sweeping bonnet line makes it very eye-catching 
• Finished in this deep gloss black it is very mean indeed 
• It sits on a nice set of grey alloys
• The alloys are in good condition with a few areas that show some evidence of road use
• Behind these alloys there are four red brake calipers, further adding to the sportiness
• The current owner has just had the headlights restored 
• Underneath it is said to be in very good condition 
• If you look hard, you might find some areas of age related marks, but there isn’t anything too worrying 
• It was also mentioned that there has been some previous welding to rectify corrosion
• This car will look great in your collection, don’t you think?

The Mechanics 

• This is where this car comes into its own 
• Under the bonnet is a 5-cylinder, turbocharged, 20V heart 
• Pressing the starter button fires the car into life quickly without any issues
• With a hybrid turbo fitted and Gtec stage 1 tune this car has a lot of ‘go’
• There is an older dyno sheet that shows it achieved just above 270bhp to the wheel
• We have listed some of the other modifications in the history section
• It shows very strong oil pressure on the gauges
• There is a slight oil leak that you may want to look at
• This is one of those cars that needs to be driven, so get it to some tight and twisty lanes 
• You won’t regret getting behind the wheel of this Italian stallion
