Has anybody seen any reviews of the GP TJet online yet? And does anybody know when it is planned to be released in the UK?

Troy.

Think my local dealer has one in, 1.4 120 bhp.

Is this what your on about? http://atsearch.autotrader.co.uk/WWW/dpage_photoad.jsp?abname=tjvickersandsons&pageid=2&id=200728291294222

Could be, but it's not supposed to a limited edition model. It's a new engined added to the range.

Very confusing add,the model shown has multijet alloys,i am sure it says multijet in the grill too,as for the interior photos they are from an active model if i am not mistaken,you can see the shimmer of the head restraint exterior shot its the sporting upholstery,so it doesn't add up,as for the t-jet it has the same alloys as the 1.4 sporting it did in the ITALLIAN JOB advert.so to me the add doesnt add up at all

Yeah, you are right, the interior looks like MY07 Active model going by the seat trim and gauges. No leather steering wheel either. The grill is hard to read. And the ad says it is a 07/2007 model with 1 owner and 1000 miles on the clock. Hmmm.

hey. i work for a fiat garage part time.

i actualy collected ours from the depo today.
it has the 1.9 desial alloys. + sporting interior, including leather stering and gear nob.

its well worth a test drive realy fun to drive. its only 5 speed which is disapointing being the standard 1.4 has 6 speed. however great car to drive, iv fallen in love with it!!!!
looks even better with an airdome roof in red, looks stunning

5 gears seems a little disappointing to me, I love the 6th gear on my 1.4 Sporting. Is all the styling the same as that of the 1.9 Sportings?

i swear that the 'Tjet' popped up on a fiat advert that i saw, like at the end, and it also had limited edition???? i had a look around on here n cudnt find anyone else who spotted it, it just sed tjet now avalable or comin soon??

That's great to hear!

Unfortunately the GP T-Jet is not coming to Australia, at least not in the forseeable future. It's seems that Ateco thinks that 3 different engines in the range is enough. Typical of them to leave the worst holes in the model range. :bang:

Troy.

Yeah only reviews ive seen for that engine is on the Bravo. It gets a good write up . Powerfull when required but quite frugle when pootling along . 48mpg achievable on the motorway apprantly .

From a 120bhp petrol that's pretty damn good.

The reviews have been nothing but good so far which is great. I think the 5 speed box is for performance sake. Heading to my dealer today so hopefully ill get to see one.
