Due to an expanding family, she has to go (the car, not the wife
). PX deals offered have been laughable so she will be going privately.
97R, 20VT, Portofino blue, black cloth, 74K miles. Very good unabused condition.
Full history, Fiat and specialist, loads of bills etc. Last two services at Powerfiat. All belts/pulleys done recently with 72K service by Rog. Prior to that at about 36K by Wigan Paul. Sailed through MOT again, good till July 07.
Runs really well and used daily. 2-owners, mine for the last 6 years. Mainly motorway miles and garaged overnight. RAC inspected when I got it and no significant problems in my hands, just had discs/pads when required and new exhaust, battery. Only mods are Peco stainless exhaust, Sparco strut brace, panel filter. Body is very good, interior excellent, full set dial surrounds, 6-CD Clarion. Red, blue, silver keys.
Areas for improvement….. Exterior is very good but not perfect (light alloy bubbling, small stonechips, one or two small parking dents). May need manifold again (replaced about 4yrs ago) as ticking from cold but runs sweetly. Rog recommends new oil cooler at 84K service.
So forget Glass’s guide……in the real world, how much is she worth?
