I wouldn't know what to do with it. I think owning a nice car involves using it. For me it has to fit a need.
With low mileage like that I'd be scared to look directly at it, let alone drive it.
Is this one of the lowest mileage coupés out there? Exactly, would much rather have a used but loved and looked after example. Surely it's not good for a car to be sat and used so infrequently. Always feel a bit sad wandering around car museums etc, especially racing cars - just feel like they should be out being thrashed and looked after.

Correct if it's not conditioned, wet, exposed to sunlight. If it's kept away (and cared for as the owner did - second hand information from the company that took care of the maintenance and parts) it should be in factory fresh condition.
Anyways, I would consider this an opportunity for someone who actually wants to buy a factory fresh, just-running-it-in mileage Coupe, whether his reasons are to put it in a museum or put 10.000 miles a month on the clock.

If it was a turbo I would go and visit my bank manager or cash some shares in I have towards my retirement. Then I would drive her. I only cover about 2,500 to 3,000 a year in my Coupe so she would last me years.
What a find. I would even be able to bring myself to love the colour. I hope she goes to a good home.

Stunning... almost looks as good as mine . That leather interior looks sensational, but I'd be so afraid to sit in her!

Why sell it....if it stays for another let's say 15 years in this garage, it will double it's price. If it was mine, i wont sell it. Just imagine Fiat Coupe in this condition after another 10 years. Well......only the turbo miss.....:)

I know what you're saying, but take into account 4% inflation every year (compounded) = 80% over 15 years, so it's 20% growth, ie just over 1% real capital gain a year. Do it because you value the car not because of what it will do to the value of the car
