1997 Fiat Punto Cabrio. I bought Silvio in October 2020 to replace my previous one that had a fatal engine failure! Was good runner but replaced tyres, dealt with all the rust and put a new roof on her. Replaced head unit and speakers with good Pioneer one but have the original cassette deck! Has a Punto GT badge as only new one I could find but has the standard 1.2 engine. Had a service and new cambelt, tensioner, water pump, fuel pump & sender unit and thermostat in May 2024. Two inejctors refurbished. Has circa 90K on the clock. Roof works well although needs a bit of adjusting to improve seal. Decent amount of service history, random spare parts and regularly serviced. Had two keys and red key.
Now the bad bits:
Now the bad bits:
- A few spots of rust and dings (street parking - <sigh>) but nothing significant. Still looks sharp when clean!
- Interior is a bit worn (although acceptable with a good clean) and fabric on inside back left wing came away and went up the hoover when it was getting a vigorous clean! I have a bolt of original Fiat Punto GT Fabric which I was going to use when I re-did the interior which I am happy to agree a price for.
- UPDATE: It overheated last week on the way to the airport. Took it into garage today to investigate and they've determined the head gasket has gone. Can't justify spending more money on. Reduced price to what one sold recently with no engine! Open to offers if someone wants it but MOT expires on 18 December 2024. Worth it just for the roof and some of the other bits. If no interest, it will be scrapped as I can't store it. Sad day.
