General Shumacher Seicento - how do you tell?

[Phil_]

Just been looking at some Shuchmacher Seicento's on eBay but I always thought they had a little MS badge and the number on a side skirt?
There's a few on eBay all saying they're a Shumacher but how do you tell?

I have also noticed a few on Auto Trader saying Schumacher that only look like normal Sportings.

I always thought the Schumachers had skirts, a rear spoiler, 14" alloys and a numbered metal plate inside the passenger door.

The pic you have posted looks like a normal Sporting to me. I have a Schumacher and it looks like this:

Several traders have been asked about it and each of them say its given as an MS from the DVLA registration info, so either the DVLA have got a lot of their vehicle details wrong, or lots of car traders are all lying.

Yes that's exactly what a Shumacher should look like to me but I must've seen about 3 or 4 advertised on Auto Trader saying they were MS limited editions but just look like normal Sportings.

I wondered if something changed and they did away with the skirts and plate or are the dealers trying to con people? The pics I posted are allegedly of a Shumacher.

When lauren and I were looking for one on auto trader there were lots but only found a few real ones . ways to tell if it is real :
The wheels are 14 " seicento abarth with fiat centre caps
The body kit is the facelifted front the side skirts have the MS logo on them
Spoiler
Big MS logo sticker on rear tail gate
Inside on the passenger door it with have a MS ltd edition plate with a number between 1 and 3000 !
Hand brake lever gear knob surround are polished alloy . and the heater control cover is silver and door bash plates have the MS logo on them

And the main thing the V5 says Seicento MS on it

Hope it helps

That helps a lot. It seems the ones I've been looking at on Auto Trader are just Sportings - the lying bastids.

glad i could help . after a week or so of looking we found that red one . 51k done 14 miles since its mot new batt and alt . and i got him down to £1400 feels like a cinq just quieter and easier to drive still love my cinq more . now our drive looks like this

what more could u want ???

Nice drive mate,

Mine looks like this. I really do need to sell the Abarth, lol

What do you prefer about the Cinqs mate? I prefer the way they look with a couple of subtle mods. I think thats due to the chunky square shape,

I imagine (but I don't know) the Cinqs are more involving and fun to drive

I've noticed this too (In the market for one now). Thought if it's advertised as a MS when the pic shows a Sporting, first thing to mention when discussing the price!

 

[AppleSei]

the heater control cover is silver

all mpi sportings models have that, not just the MS

It seems the ones I've been looking at on Auto Trader are just Sportings - the lying bastids.

Not necessarily lying, they may not be just familiar with the seicento model as a whole, i know a few traders who arent particularly clued up on the cento and its revisions

Would also like to add the MS should have chrome pedals as well

 

[MadMalx]

ABS Brakes is another clue to a genuine Schumacher - not many people paid the extra for that as an option lol

 

[FIREsporting]

limited edition Michael Schumacher version is basically the same as the sporting, except for the following

14" alloys
Aluminium handbrake cover/gear lever surround
rear boot spolier
red stiching around steering wheel and gear knob
side skirts
Aluminium foot pedals
michael schmacher logos on boot and sills

I not see alot off them about, Cool Looking cars no

 

[AppleSei]

Thanks for repeating us all

 

[Lizardaru]

schumachers were only made in red or yellow

 

[livingstonSEICENTO]

very cheeky!

be careful to get caught out by a couple of badges.. if you go to see one have a look at the v5

 

[fingers99]

Really can't see what the fuss is about.

If it was a Seicento Senna, or even Barrichello, maybe.............

 

[AppleSei]

If it was a Seicento Senna, or even Barrichello, maybe.............

If it was a seicento barrichello it would forever be broken down at the lights, or find a random bit of offroad somewhere
