The Fiat Coupe seems to be one of those cars that's been a "future classic" for years now but it's status (and price) never seems to have improved. They now appear to be disappearing fast as a result of maltreatment at the hand of bodykits and Italian rust which is a crying shame to me.

As an owner of a (relatively) low mileage, mechanically sound 1998 Coupe I now find myself torn. I cannot keep the car no matter how much I want to, I've too many other projects on the go and not enough time to go around. The car runs perfectly and has no mechanical issues, it's spent the winter in a dry garage on SORN but it needs the brake lines sorted and the normal problematic sills sorting.

The question is, with values where they are, is it really worth me investing the money (potentially several hundred quid) to get a ticket on it and sell it as that or do I suck it up and sell it as is which will kill me as it's really too good to be broken up.



Over to you Italian owners of PH, sell or break (scrap)?

Yeah it's a 20V NA. The sills aren't great but rust the rest is fine having a poke around the other day.

I might stick it in for MOT and then see where I stand.

It's got to be worth doing!
