I passed my test back in 1993 in one of these, it was about two weeks old and the driving examiner told me to slow abit more into junctions, apart from that a pass first time.
They handled fantastically and were used as paramedics fast response cars in some areas.
Everyone overlooked them so it was good to fly past at 130 ish.
It was a quick car out of the dealership in its day, handled well and there were less police!!!!!!
I raced a mate in an Astra GSI to Swansea from Cardiff, I beat him to Mumbles, the Tipo gave you confidence and he had no bottle!!!
I was gutted when it was sold, my dad bought a new Fiat every year from late 80’s to early 00’s a friend then changed his dealership to Mazda and that was it.
In those 20 years we had nearly every model Fiat, Alfa Romeo and Lancia produced.
