Nigel Mansell's Tipo
How often is this thing going to come up? It just keeps coming up for auction.
That not again :bang:. They could have at least given Nigel a sedici 
This has cropped up before....
still not sold then...

well would you buy a 14 year old fiat tipo for 3 and half grand... lol you can get puntos that are like 2-3 years old for that!
Regardless of whose Tipo it was, its still a Tipo and noone will sensibly buy it for £3500. The previous owner probably bought it due to thinking it would be worth something in the future, realised it was actually just a 1990 family hatchback with a fancy badge stuck on the badge and decided to sell it on.
Nigel probably didnt even drive it

guess that says it all!
That Tipo's been on ebay more than Nigel's had pies
I'd like to know why it's only got 1 owner.. Mansell was the first - so who owns it now?
It's obviously been through a few hands to get nearly 60k on the clock.

Makes me grin to think back though!
PSST... Hey Nigel?
Yeah?
You know Ferrari are pleased with your performance?
Too right!
Well, I can't say much, but let's just say you are going to get a strictly one-off car you'll love from them as a token of your appreciation!
Great stuff! (cut to nigel daydreaming wistfully about a red testarossa with creme interior, with a mural on the dash to his superior skill)
Two weeks later, The Covering cloth is dramatically uncovered and it's....
...A green Tipo.
Rumour has it Nigel Mansell actually created ebay, just sell this car. Again and again and...

why the funk didn't they give him the sedici?? cheap buggers
didn't know they did leather interiors on tipo's
also it hasn't got abarth kit on it! I saw one in romania that looked like it had been dumped in buckeresti (capital), been stood for a good few weeks/months. but had near mint abarth skirts and bumpers front and rear that was a 1.8dgt (the flashing light dashboard )

I'm going to phone Mansell one day and request that he buys it back. Not so the guy selling gets the money, but so the poor Tipo is finally off ebay.. Maybe he can buy it then hand it to a motor museum or just give it to me..
