My little Sei flew through the MOT in March & was treated to a full service.
My trusted independent remarked clean it was, outside, inside & underneath
Today, a nearly new OE spec Goodyear Eagle Touring was delivered. This will replace the odd Sonar that's on one of the rear wheels so all four tyres will now match
Being fitted tomorrow.
Here she is with her fellow Italian friend

Brooklands yesterday.
360 miles all in. I averaged 68mph over the 177 mile return trip.
This included a petrol stop & the Severn tolls

Not something I wanted to see.
Threw a hissy fit after the battery was disconnected for a couple of weeks.
Sorted now, new heater cock being fitted tomorrow too
At this event on Sunday in Cardiff.

Cool. How do they compare???
Loved reading this topic, though I do have to ask... Any particular reason why this car was so expensive?
OP
OP
Thanks.
I paid £1250 for it (the £2200 was for the Schumacher I didn’t buy).
That’s not expensive with the mileage, history & condition
Think Im missing something..
Its an A1 unmolested example...
and Im not sure he disclosed the purchase price for THIS CAR..

Very, very different.
The Seicento is epic fun because you can belt it everywhere.
The 595 is properly bonkers yet very composed when you’re not on it. It makes a great daily.
Oh okay that makes sense... Because it didn't look like a Schumacher, and £2200 seemed like an awful lot for a regular Abarth. £1250 is more reasonable!
The car *is* in pristine condition though. I was merely under the impression that these cars, even in good condition, weren't worth a lot in the UK. In fact, they are just starting to go up in value here. I'm restoring one currently, and it cost me 500€ which, for an Abarth, is a bargain here. But rumour has it that they were worth less than that in the UK.
Good thing they are appreciating in value!

So which one is 'more' fun? ?
That's the reason i enjoy my centos - blat about everywhere. also the 'underdog thing' - overtaking "proper cars' on main roads. I wonder what the non fiat drivers must think sometimes ?

I get you completely.
Depends on what mood you’re in. The performance levels & handling are continents apart.
My 595 was a Covergirl recently too
