Hi,
I'm seriously thinking of selling my beloved Coupe and getting something more practical for a whole load of reasons I won't go into here. I still have use of my wife's GTV 3.0 which makes the thought more bearable. Basically, we can't go on with 2 impractical cars and my wife loves her GTV so the coupe may well have to go.
It's a 1998 20VT in burgundy metallic with tan trim, aircon(regasssed)and sunroof. It's currently just shy of 90,000 miles. It's the older version with an oil temp gauge rather then the voltmeter. It holds 2 bar oil pressure when hot and as far as I know, is mechanically perfect with no issues. Apart from the Longlife stainless exhaust, the car is factory standard with no mods.
The car was treated to a full body restoration and respray to the highest standard 18 months ago and I've done around 2000 miles since so it's still immaculate. It was professionally waxoyled at the same time. All alloys have been refurbed, badges replaced, headlamps refurbed etc etc. It's been garaged all the time I've owned it.
All the big mechanical jobs have been done (clutch, stainless exhaust, brakes, oil cooler, etc)but it's still on it's original turbo which pulls fine and doesn't smoke. The car will have a new cambelt prior to sale.
I have a full service history from new with all receipts and MOT's. Servicing has been carried out either by Fiat or respected specialists (including Motormech who I purchased the car through originally).
I am a mature owner who has treated this car with kid gloves and I've lavished thousands of pounds on it in the three and a half years I've owned it.
I'd appreciate some ideas of how much I should be asking on here and how easy it will be to sell as it's not a Plus or LE.

I can also supply an itemised service history showing all work carried out. If I do sell, it will be available from March onwards. I'm in Devon, between Exeter and Plymouth around 3 minutes off the A38.
Thanks for reading.
