But it has "expensive bremmo brakes" so I think this makes up for the wrong interior

This 1,

I would have thought it would effect the value.

yes. unless you want an LE with non-standard seats.

reduce the price by £600 at least, it requires a complete interior including seat belts and door card (minus the steering wheel, gear knob/gaitor)

Looking at at least a Grand off that, all the interior gone, bar a few bits!

Hard to find the interiors now as well, almost a pointless buy really!

I cant understand it even if the seats were uncomfortable as stated in the ad its a lot of trouble to go to.

Although seeing door cards gone and seats belts im more puzzled.

I'd say the previous owner took out the interior and sold it on for extra profit. He then sold the LE onto this guy who probably didn't know any better rolleyes

It's not really an LE anymore is it? It's simply a 20VT 6 speed with an LE bodykit and some trinkets such as a push-start button and titanium trim etc...

£2.2 to £2.5k maybe? It does look lovely from the outside!

Its amazing how many of the 'uninitiated' do not know what they have - the guy who sold my car to Iceberg initially told him he had a Coupe for sale but Paul only got really interested when he mentioned that the Red leather seats were not to everyones taste!!!

So if it was just the seats that were changed, where have the doorcards and seatbelts gone?

Methinks I smell a rat. Someone is not telling the truth.
Don't know that i'd want to deal with a seller who so obviously cannot be trusted, but it does have to be said I agree with Spee. It looks a nice example otherwise.

I think this car went for a little trip in the night with the owner fast asleep in bed!

However this owner doesnt want to say unrecorded stolen and recovered!

Indeed 200 was originally allotted to the UK.

Then due to demand Fiat bucked and released a few more. Bad decision IMO.

Was just looking at this cars advert,it does look very nice apart from the missing seats,with quite a comprehensive history.
I am tempted if the money was right.

I must say it does look in damn good shape and the sevice history cant knock it.

But the price needs to reflect the missing seats/interior

im sure some will pop up for sale but who knows.

I'm sure Carlt was on about an LE a couple of years back that was also missing it's LE interior, and there was an Ulterior motive as to why too, involving a crash or something. Probably not the case here, but what was it he said? I can't remember!



Coopless!

I remember that Thread too.

Here you go!

Think that one was a Mooner though and not a Black one. Carlt never disclosed what the story was on that one!

I contacted the seller of this,prior to it being relisted.He said a bloke had left a deposit on it but never got back in touch,said it would be selling at £3.200,I thought about it ,the cost of getting the L.E interior etc taking it up to nearly 4k,then you still have a coop with 105k on the clock.It did look very nice and had a massive amount of money spent on it.
