FIAT BARCHETTA (1998) | a CAR, a BOAT or BOTH? | #23

[@mattgreen9507]

Nice review and a bit of nostalgia for an ex-owner 🙂 As an aside, perhaps I misunderstood you but you could buy them in the UK. I think sales in the UK were probably impacted by them only being available in LHD but it was possible to get them converted to RHD if so desired. In my experience, they were cheap, reliable and a lot of fun!

Wow, I didn't know they were sold in the UK. Was it in official Fiat dealership? The conversion was done by a third party or Fiat?

I'm debating between 2 units. one with 1 owner and 60k kilometers and another with 7 owners and 130,000km. For the first one they ask me almost twice as much as for the second XD

[@CarRambler1]

You know if the condition is nice, and You plan to keep the car for years if You Will pay more in next years. May I ask what is the proce for 60k kilometers car?

[@curtislovering3522]

Hi thanks for the video I’m going to look at one that’s for sale today it has 66,000km on the clock, could please advise on what are most common problems that I need to look out for. Cheers again curt👍

Hi, I'm not a specialist. I would suggest not concentrating on the roof as this can be easily bought new for 500 euro. I guess the bigest problem here might be body condition. Look for rosted elements specially underneath. The engine had a variator as the first car in fiat's history. This can be broken and is not the cheapest stuff.
