so has any other dealers got a demo 500 yet we have

it's a 1.4 16v 100hp 6 speed in red with checka stripes down the side

what a gorgeous car it is too

it also has 16" alloys on so i bet it's fun to drive

Stoneacre Peterborough have one, there was some photos up but their staff who posted them was told off for it so we removed them,
seems strange to me that they didn't want no one to see it go in an look at it and possibly place an order.
many times people have seen photos of cars on the forum then gone out and bought one

We have ours aswell. I think all the first demos are red sports with the white strip and multispoke alloys.
All the ones I have seen so far were anyway.

Got ours too in South wales. Again Red Sport with extras.

Also status 50 is our White 1.4 16v Lounge with electric sunroof, Italian stripes etc...... Should be here Friday. Got to be honest though. After sitting in the car in Turin back in July thought WOW. but now it's actually here, For some reason or another looks better than I remember. Just a shame about the Pearlescent paint.

Simonstone in Bristol are expecting theirs this week. It is at Portbury at the moment.

A main Fiat dealer in the West Midlands has its Red 500 Sport for sale and advertised on autotrader.co.uk with photographs for all to see.

It has been in the front of their Fiat showroom since late last week so it is hardly a secret.

All the dealer demos are the same.

Although they arn't ment to be in the showrooms yet............

dont see why not our spend the day out on the forecourt for all passing motorist to see and will soon be in the showroom

i should think because it's already been launched in Europe and fiat don't care much for the uk

that they don't care what dealers do with them aslong as they don't sell them until the actual uk launch date some time February

Why have i been Told off for putting those pics up?

my dealer said they were due to get 3 demos a pop, lounge and sport by this week, however they dont think they will be getting them, due to shipping probs.

Some customers who thought they were geting their cars 21 jan are now being told Feb probably now for 1 March delviery due to shipping problems

Is this right or is it scaremongering maybe by peeps who are trying to sell theres at above list price or who are stuck with lefty hander 500s which are not selling well at all.

(First one appeared for sale at well above list price on autotrader.co.uk yesterday.Prob will be the first of many.)

Dealer demos are supposed to be arriving.
Have you see one?
Is it true they are all Sport and Lounge 500s
with no 500 Pops as demos?

Non of that going on here, I'm pretty pi**ed with my dealer havinf said we are good for 21st Jan & now he is saying March!!!!!

He is still saying I'm in their 1st batch though, so if I see any customer cars being delivered on the 21st I'll be down on then like a tonne of s**t.

My locals had a left hooker demo for ages, dont think they've got a right hand drive one yet tho

ooo yes they will

Stoneacre Worksop Notts have a red sport in, but its well hidden around the back looks great.

All dealers are supposed to get 3 cars by 21 Jan launch:

A red sport 1.4 for the showroom
A white 1.4 lounge demo
A blue 1.3 diesel lounge demo

(Red, white and blue - UK - clever ha)

Which sounds like no Populars and no 1.2s as demos?Unless anyone knows different

Why have MarkElvin and others seen silver and yellow one knocking about, what are they,if they are not demos and customer cars aren't coming til march now,

if I see any customer cars being delivered on the 21st I'll be down on then like a tonne of s**t.
