The Appeal

Characterized by an extremely attractive, clean and timeless design, inspired like its name by the glorious open-top two-seater racing cars of the fifties, the Fiat Barchetta is one of the last examples of nimble and pure Italian sports spiders, heir to the glorious tradition of the Alfa Spider and the Fiat 124 Spider.

In addition to a still extremely actual design, the Barchetta has among its strengths a fast-revving and elastic 130hp 1.7-litre 16-valve engine with variable timing, which guarantees very lively performances.
Thanks to its low weight, to the refined chassis and to the independent rear suspension, the road holding is agile and safe, allowing for sporty and fun driving.

This particular Fiat Barchetta, with elegant and unfaded grey metallic paint and durable fabric sports seats and equipped with a brand new soft top, is a very solid and well-preserved example, in perfect mechanical working order and free from any defects.

Ready to drive, with a thorough major service just performed before the recent MOT inspection, including a new timing belt, a new radiator and a new water pump, it represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a fascinating car, increasingly rare and certainly collectible.
