Looks like this is standard RHD 2-dr with partial abarth body kit and bucket seats. 

Given the engine dead the price way too high.

Here's a link to the previous thread - where the car was auctioned.

I think now we can see why the car didn't start on auction day

Saw that car last year, wouldn't touch it with a barge pole I'm afraid, more filler and badly welded patches than original metal. I told the seller at the time the engine was shot and he had no paperwork to back up the work.................buyer beware

So what appeared to be a good buy at auction has cost someone ?000's :o

Appears to me that buying 131's is an extremely 'risky business' ??? and not for the faint hearted

from  the advert ..

This car is a Cypriot import and shows one owner since it came to UK in 2012 , Mot September 15 , Has the Alitalia decals fitted but can be easily removed if there not your thing. Obviously this is not a real Abarth but its not at real thing money , please no more busy anoraks without any money telling me what it is and what its not , after all its not 20 - 30 grand........


 But still with the engine fault and ?12995

  left me anorak in the cupboard .. ;D ;D
