I've just picked up a 52 plate, metallic green Eleganza as a stop-gap motor for a friend
We bought it off a mechanic friend but with very little history
It's quite a high mileage but starts, runs and stops OK - we drove 35 miles home with no issues using A roads and with a healthy 45mpg+

It needs a few small items: centre caps, a parcel shelf, the front towing eye cover and the original (Blaupunkt?) radio is missing (there's a Sony fitted atm) - there is a wanted small ad: various trim bits
There's just one niggly thing: the ashtray was full and is stained and melted from cigarette butts - how does this come out? (to clean / replace)

Also, there is only one key: standard, blue, no 'blip' central locking - can we cut a replacement?

Ashtray just lifts out, front and rear equally as easy. Be sure to get the right Parcel shelf. 3 door and 5 door have different ones .
 
If your after different bits for it you will find plenty in scrap yards. Or there are specialist punto dealers such as PuntoMan and PuntoSpares.

If you do get an original Radio and it needs a code you can get that code on here. Pretty sure its Davren who does that. All you need to do is make a donation to the forum.

Not sure if your punto originally comes with remote locking but there are plenty of guides on here how to fit remote locking kits. I have a hawk kit fitted to mine.
