I was just wondering if anybody could tell me any problems particular to the Coupe. I was thinking of buying one but have no idea what to look out for with this model. Any advice would be really appreciated.
 
Make sure its had all the belts done recently as this can cost alot, the 20vt is engine out job, unless u take to speacist that knows what there doing. Do all usual Checks oil, water. Try getting one with full service history and dont get a a cheap one(as i did, and headgasket went after 3 days). Check Under the car as older cars can rust quite bad. If i was to buy another one i would try and get one off someone on this forum or the Fiat Coupe Forum as you have got more chance of it beining well looked after.
 
Lots of potential problems. Its an old performance car which needs TLC. have a look on the previous threads here about buying advice and go to fccuk.org (coupe forum) You'll need time to speare to read all the various posts of woe and wailing...

Good car if you have a good one (obviously) but its better to wrestle a pig in S* than struggle with an Eyti lemon.
