Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1996 Fiat Cinquecento SX, with an 899cc engine and 5-speed manual transmission, sold for £1,000, hitting the top of its estimated value. It boasts a long MOT until April 2027 and comes with its original handbooks and some service history, making it an appealing option for classic car enthusiasts.
Condition
6
The car has a current MOT until April 2027 and was driven to the auction, indicating it is mechanically sound. However, the service history is sparse with only one stamp and two written entries in the service booklet. The description does not detail any specific cosmetic issues, but given the age and the fact it sold for the higher end of its estimate, it's reasonable to assume some wear and tear consistent with a 'Good' condition rating.
