General Barchetta's seen out and about.

Heres a few to report - A yellow B in Bradford on the ring road this morning - no pics as my hands were full of motorbike at the time, also came across a nice red one just outside Knaresborough, parked up on a drive.

You didn't meet up with Rustbucket??

I was just on a short team building trip with my girlfriend's company, full program and all, and it didn't really cross my mind Is he the short bloke with red hair and green outfit? If so, I might just have seen him

Spotted this yellow B today :yum: I was on the way to IKEA, hence I was in the Punto :shrug:

Spotted a black mk2 on a '54 plate heading out of Windsor yesterday afternoon, anyone here?????

Blowing my own trumpet now, but I was the only Barchetta at Newby Hall on Saturday, and all day at Kettlewell on Sunday!
We had a blast getting to Kettlewell, hood down, heater on, and DTR exhaust blasting out at full chat!
Funtastic! Roll on the next dry day!

Spotted spoceto1003's red B parked up as I drove through Montacute last night and this morning. Looks in great shape. I let out a blast of B horn in appreciation.

Spotted an orange B passing through Huby between Otley and Harrogate. That makes a grand total of 5 B's in the Harrogate area - anyone on here?

Spotted this one today. Red with a boot rack...tsk-tsk.

I've actually seen it around quite often - although I'd rather look at my own as it's not red nor does it have a boot rack

Hi all, long time no speak - been a busy Summer

Anyway, I was very chuffed on Friday evening to have my first proper Barchetta encounter whilst actually IN mine. Was on the M4 going West between J16 and J17, think it was around 6pm? Saw a Silver B up ahead, Mk2, 05 plate. Pulled up level, smiled and waved, he looked a bit confused, then twigged and smiled back.

Or he could just have been trying to hide as he didn't have his top down - and it was a gorgeous evening! Needless to say, I did

When I turned off at 17 he beeped his hooter. I was so excited I forgot to beep back so apologies if you ever see this . . .

W reg silver mk1 with a 3rd brake light and a hardtop.

Today in Luton Parkway station carpark. I wasn't in the b so no flyer...

No Bs so far in Dublin

3 that I know of. Yellow one lives in the IFSC. Blue one in Bray (Fiat dealers pride..his son runs an immaculate coupe) and mine 2 days a week when I come in from Athlone.

edit: 'nother yellow B doing the rounds of auctions and at least 2 dealers. No docs and seems to have several sets of UK plates (they aren't clever enough to fix the large dent in the offside quarter panel).

Wierd blue/green colour mk1 that I've never seen before driving around Nottingham this morning. I flashed at the woman driver but she didn't respond

I flashed at the woman driver but she didn't respond

She probably wasn't impressed by what she saw...

Nobody has ever complained before

 

[Robot]

As you said, nobody's complained before. Now there is one

 

[LittleRedB]

I spotted a Yellow MK1 n the staff car park of the long term parking car park at Gatwick on Thursday evening (not in mine so could not leave a 'spotted' flier).....

 

[nicholasb]

Spotted a red B with rack on the A30 in Devon, heading North. Didn't have time to react much so I just gave a lame wave

Hello Guys.

I have now been in Portugal for 2 months and I've only seen 1 other Barchetta, despite driving 150kms every day... and it wasn't even Portuguese. It was German and was at the beach. Needless to say the German Barchetta got a beach parking space before me!

There are precious few convertibles here, and given the Barchetta's price when new and the massive tax here on new cars, it's no wonder I don't see any. I have seen an awful lot of Rovers??? You'd be forgiven for thinking that Rover must have given them away free with a packet of cornflakes

Anyway, communication from me will be very infrequent as the forum (any forum, facebook etc etc) is blocked by big brother at work. I can only check my personal email which I guess is listed on my profile - please write. Take care, and I miss you guys and the meetings a lot

You best take a look at the Club Barchetta Iberia website

Which reminds me, I was shocked to discover that this was an orignal Fiat option.
