so I'm needing a smaller car to commute to and from work, and although I love this car and the attention it recieves, I'm affriad its time it moved on, to a new owner. so heres the facts... good points tourquise ;D 2 litre engine conversion, two litre brakes, discs all round. a nice (?) matching interior in black and tourquise. a little tired and pulling away in places but looks ok none the less. 15" RH aloys, with a little bit of dish, colour coded to the car. recently added a radio/cd player which lights up as near to tourquise as you can get, a nice touch me thinks. all electrics work as they should. suprising for a fiat taxed untill... ? ill have to check lol mot untill november. bad points tired looking interior, caught the front bumper putting a wee scuff on it, trying to negotiate a rather tight alley. exhaust has allways had a blow, just started to notice it a bit more now. does get a little hot in traffic at times. a nice retro ride, and deffinately something different. has never let me down since I have owned it starts on the button everytime, and has embarrased much more expensive cars. could make a nice sleeper, or with a little cash spent in the right places would make a great car for someone. I'm asking £500 ono on this lovely tourquise tarmac terror. open to offers, or swaps for something smaller so try me. all interest please pm and ill try my best to get back to you asap. cheers for reading

in my haste to post i realised i had been rather brief, and left out some information. so: tax untill aug 2010 mot until nov 2010 i bought this car as a cheap runaround from this very site in feb, the car was converted by a previous owner to a 2ltr engine, i was told the engine had covered 86k when installed so it would be closer the 95k mark now. it has a genuine fiat tipo body kit which completely changes the look of the car, i understand this was a fiat option in italy (rare?) it sits on lowered springs all round, and on rh cups(?) alloy wheels with 4 good condition tyres with at least 6mm tread left on all. the front grill has been debadged and smoothed, as has the real tailgate, with the removal of the rear wiper. the engine pulls well, and the 2ltr brakes all stop the car in next to no time. this car is definately on par with the modern hatch, and will easily keep up with much more expensive cars, this car realy is fun to drive in anger, and the induction roar is enough to send shivers down your spine. a few pennies spent in the right places could make this ageing classic into a tarmac terror, fun family wagon or barry boy basher. i do have my eye on something else, so please try me on offers, no sensible offer refused. some more recent pics:

I really like this car - proper 90's spec colour/kit etc.... I convoyed with this car when Grunty owned it, from Brian Damaged's house to the Wychbury meet. Turned a lot of heads with that turquiose B289 colour scheme. ;D Have some pics on me and good luck with the sale:

Always liked this motor - would make a nice, fun retro daily for someone. Are those louvres on the front wing custom? Looks niiice could make a nice sleeper WHAT? It's turquoise! Haa! ;D

lol, only just seen these comments. the colour does divide opinion, I'm lead to believe its the original fiat colour. I'm was getting a little bored with it and toying with the idea of selling, when something came up i wanted. so unfortunately it has to go.
had a rather spirited drive at the weekend with a porsche 911 turbo around the essex b roads. still makes me smile.. so I'm now in two minds again....
cheers for all the comments

It would look nice with a bit of black, that grille would look nice sprayed black. It just looks too turquoise!!! Still nice though.
