As above and below: https://www.gumtree.com/p/fiat/fiat-coup...ced-/1267471578Ok it's not as punchy as the 20v but this appears to be a good deal with full spec and original. Is this the Integrale engine? DVLA and MOT check is spot on for the car of this age. BTW what's the truth about rust being less of an issue with the earlier cars?

That looks a tidy car on the face of it although I would be having a closer look at the o/s rear arch looking at the pics. The 16vt is the same engine as the integrale so the n/a is probably very similar and both can suffer with worn cams if servicing hasn't been kept up. Cambelt every 3 years as opposed to 5 for the 20v so worth checking when it was done even though it wasn't many miles ago. They handle better than a 20v too due to less front end weight.
I actually prefer my 16vt to the 20vt I had before it.

What's the score with the O/S/R wheel arch - does the inner edge appear to have rust or potential paint job ?
