It’s a 59plate 135 with FSH, high’ish mileage at 79k. It’s getting a cambelt, oil change & MOT before I pick it up.

For me it had to be red so made the search a little harder. Had to be a good price. So beggars can’t be choosers, but this car has leather & for me the nicer alloys so win win.

Drove well, feisty wth a great sound, crazy for a 1.4. I think it’s the fact you can have fun without going mad, that’s the rub for me.

Looking forward to Saturday when I pick it up.

My Twin brother and I both have 595's - a Trofeo and Comp respectively. beer


He got one at the end of last year and I had a go in it and just HAD to get one for myself. We've started off a instagram page together and it's doing rather well.

Nice..I'm presuming the matt grey Comp is your bro's, how does he get on cleaning it? (or what does he use?) My Missues really loves the matt grey but I'm the only one in the household that cleans the cars, hence wtf I'm not to sure whether matt grey or a (safe!) yellow 595 Comp instead??

Yes, thats his one. I don't know how he cleans it to be honest but it always looks cleaner than my metallic Trofeo!

As far as I'm aware he hand washes it with snowfoam and shampoo.

My poor Seicento Sporting Abarth took a hit (run) from two road raging dicks yesterday morning.

Got a police incident number but not claiming or anything as it’ll be a straight write off.

New parts (arch liner, headlight & indicator) needed, a little mount re-shaping & the bumper re-spraying.

Properly gutted as just got a fresh MOT, 4 new Pirelli tyres & a new cooling fan and was intending showing at Cardiff on 9th June frown

Glad it wasn’t my 595 though!
