The first thing I'd do would be put the spoiler back on the right way round :whistle:

I'd prefer the spoiler off altogether.

It looks like it's got a Jersey number plate on it which would possibly explain the low mileage, also will have not been driven at more than 40mph.

It needs to be driven and used. It's a shame to keep it in a garage.

The missus was on about changing her car, I wonder if they would do a part ex with a Punto...??

I'm sure this car was the subject of an article in the club mag a few years back, I came across it just the other day. Will try and find it again!

Got to say that is very good value but only as an investment. The first 1000 miles you did in it would knock £3k off the value I suspect!

This car was featured in the December 2011 club mag. It had done 600 miles then and was living in Jersey. It appears it was stored at the local Fiat dealer in Jersey and the chap purchased it in 2009.
