claims to be a michael schumacher edition, but Martyn pointed out he thought they were all red in colour. How do you tell if a Seicento is or isn't a MS edition - what are the differences between that, and a standard model?

cheers

They weren't all red, they also came in yellow.

They are basically what that one is, an abarth. Differences iirc are just mainly badging on the skirts, an ms insignia on the bootlid and numbered plaques on the doors. Maybe ms kickplates and headrests too.

Ms is a abarth but with this
MS had ABS uints , his sig on the boot , Diffrent badges on the Side skirts like mark pointed out ( his signiture insted of a abarth badge ) i cant see any placqs in the pictues , ans im also sure they only came in red and yellow , Unsure about black

Cool, so this one isn't really, cause it's black, and someone has just stuck some badges on??

Close - I was pretty sure they didn't come in black though!

I remember seeing a comprehensive list of how to tell if it's a schui or not, but that was a while ago.

I own a Sei SX 2001 model. Little machine like, just be prepared parts ain't cheap.

It's an abarth at best. I'd never pay a premium for an MS sporting tbh, it was just a marketing excercise.

cheers for this guys!! i'm on the look out for one now, got some ideas bout what i'd like to do so we'll see!!

p.s. lewisp i've PMd you..

There is a T reg fake MS model on the bay, someone's picked up a edition door plate and claiming theirs to be a true MS, someone will be fooled though and buy it

yep ive posted that one On ff , Laddo is from dalston you may know him as he is one of my "mates" Spud? ive told him its not a MS and hes is postive even know ive told him its not

abarth mk2 seicentos do have a shorter ratio 5th gear gearbox. as this car is.
they will also have PAS and ABS as standard being mk2. so the obly difference from this to a MS is the different badges and no signitures. tbh even without the shorter ratio box there the identical cars anyways.
