I am tempted to buy one of these cars,Just been surfing for Insurance quotes. £360.00 fully comp for me & the missus,thats not bad for what they will do! There was a 20V turbo for sale, in a garage down the road.It was sold in about two days!

Yeah,I would lurve a car like that.I always regreted selling my X/19!
,it's finding space in't garage thats the biggest hurdle.That's why I drive a Sei,I would'nt part with my ole Guzzi Lemans.Tis one of the family .But I would like a quick car as well though.A Coupe or something like a Caterham Seven would be fun. I am going to have to get me a drive in a Coupe!

Dirty girl!
Don't worry about the mileage Sammiboo, It Is an indication of how many miles (obviously) but It does not tell you all. The main point is that the all important cam belt has been changed.
Use the best quality 5/40 oil you can afford, and change the oil every 5-6 thousand miles. You will find you need to top up a lot every month, the coupe is reknowned for drinking oil, This is not a problem as long as there aint plumes of smoke coming from your exhaust!
As I say, use good oil and change often, and a check up at a garage every 6 months or so, And with luck You will see another 90k! There are guys on the Coupe forum who are well into 150k on the original engine.
On the other extreme, There's a guy on there who just bought a 20vt LE for about 8k, It had 37k miles and serviced by fiat all it's life, The engine has just gone on him and It now needs a new turbo...
