Description
In Brief:
An excellent example of the loveable Barchetta
Finished in Silver with a Black soft top over a cloth interior Owned by The Vendor for the last 9 years 1 former keeper Supplied new to the UK in LHD Genuine 41,541 miles from new
Auctioneer's Notes:
A well-travelled and well-kept example of the Fiat Barchetta.
This 1997 example is presented in left-hand drive, as all Barchettas were from factory.
It is also understood to have been UK supplied when new, before later spending time in Italy and returning to the UK under the care of The Vendor.
The history file is particularly well organised, charting the car’s movement through Europe and back to the UK, while the car itself benefits from desirable features including power steering, electric windows and its original radio.
Showing a warranted 41,541 miles, this is a great modern classic with a strong supporting file.
Maintenance & Condition:
The accompanying service invoices detail a substantial recommissioning underta...
