Siecento Schumacher

Well after loads and loads of time looking, travelling and more looking I finally nailed down a Sei Schumacher in original mint condition. As you can see its yellow! I am totally chuffed with it. Looked for all the signs Fingers told me to look for and its perfect bar a scratch on the drivers door (cheers mate ).

Not really any plans for it other than to love it and drive it. I will fit genuine FIAT floor mats and I am considering swapping the airbagged steering wheel over to a non airbag racy type of wheel. Just as long as I can do that without any warning lights (need to research this) then I will do that.

I have got the trader to deliver it to me this Saturday as I am not putting it on the road until the beginning of July (tax and insurance to sort etc). I am really happy with it and look forward to zipping around with it in future.

Its got a full service history and has done 39,000 miles. The interior is very clean and the spare does not look like it has ever been used.

Very nice mate it looks fantastic

Cheers. I forgot to mention it is a 2002 "02 plate".

That's a great Schumi Seis.

I'm more and more sad because they weren't sold in Portugal

Keep in standart because I'm sure it's a future classic

Oh mate it looks well gorgeous and in mint condition too

Well worth the wait and travelling, looks like you have picked up a good one

Bit of an update really. I have had the car for a week now and I am happy with the car overall but I would just like to say that the only negative is the offset pedals and in particular the brake pedal is a bit difficult to use and I have to concentrate to ensure I press it correctly. Another minor gripe is I cannot get the seat to go back far enough for my liking. There is nothing wrong it is sliding fine its just a few inches too close for me (I am 6ft).

But overall happy with it and having it in bright yellow certainly turns heads.

Lovely motor!!!

wow, looks well nice, schumaker sei in broom yellow FTW

Very nice. If you want to change your steering wheel and don't want a warning light on, you can buy a boss kit for air bags.

Thanks for all the good comments, I gave the Sie a good clean today inside and out and I am really pleased with the results. I also decided to have a look at the handbrake as it was a little to high to pull up, turned out to be a seized linkage. Stripped it down and sorted no trouble, works perfect now.

Oh just noticed the pedals you have, apparently pretty rare now..

Car looks very tidy

I am not a big fan of these type of pedals but as they are part of the original car I will leave alone. I want to keep it totally standard.

Originally I was planning to keep it 100% standard but the exhaust tip is really rusty but the rest of the exhaust is perfectly good which has got me thinking about swapping the back box. I have had a good search through the old/recent threads and there are some really nice looking back boxes out there.

Mine looks like a pea shooter so I am considering swapping to a nice 2.5 or 3" back box, preferably not loud but a nice subtle burble. I literally work next door to the place that is Fast Fiat (Tuning.co.uk) in Lichfield Staffs so I am tempted to pop round and see what they have in stock.

What do you guys recon, should I mod it or not?

Hi mate. your sei-schu looks really nice! Shame i'm stuck with only a sporting lol

i reckon if you want to keep it as standard as possible but wanting a nice backbox then maybe the supersprint one will be the best choice.

I LOVE YOUR CAR!
