Description
Grab yourself a modern classic in lovely condition.
Probably the finest example of the iconic Fiat Tipo 1.4 i.e. in the country made famous by the irrepressible Inspector Montalbano television series. With only 26.5k genuine miles on the clock since new, this modern classic has been in our family for most of it's life being purchased in 1994 by my late father and passed on to me, hence the three ownership record.
The car has been well looked after and garaged during ownership, the paintwork and interior being in excellent condition with no stone chips on the exterior and a 'No smoking' 'No pets' ticket.
The vehicle is a genuine five door hatchback with the rear bench seat folding forward to provide a large load space in the back.
The spare wheel, carried below the rear load mats, has never been on the road.

The gearbox is a five speed manual providing excellent performance in all gears. The vehicle benefits from electric windows in the front driver and passenger doors with manually operated windows in the rear passenger seats which are fitted with seat belts.
