Hi I have recently bought one that has stood five years not running, think its immobiliser problems? any tips? code symbol goes out when cranking over but not the injector symbol is that normal? thanks
Got mine also 15 years now. Its a 96 and in top condition. And i do kick it up and down mountain roads pretty heavily. I think it´s more true to say, if you want to have a "good" barchetta you will have to spend more than 1000€. Thats kind of lower end rotting away one (maybe you are lucky with yours). But in general a decent one usually is around 4500+. Ideally stock, so you can do all the suspension and exhaust stuff to your liking yourself. Another Suspension definitely helps. The stock "aloha" suspension is a nono :).
I own one of the Milano special Editions and keep it running since 2002, wich is more work than you might expect, especially wish the supply of spare parts drying up... But I've never owned a car hat gave me more pleasure driving....
A Barchetta tends to give you that feeling i´d agree 😄, Spares tend to be an issue, but I hope it wll give you a lot of driving pleasure for many years to come!
Leuke review! De klep van de softtop is niet van plastic😂 ga maar eens kijken bij een beschadigde of geschuurde. De carrosserie lijkt inderdaad wel door te lopen bij de voorruit, dat is ook echt zo, de bovenkant van het dashboard is folie om verblinding tegen te gaan. Voor 1000 euro heb je een koopje, fatsoenlijke zijn vaak meer dan het 3 dubbele. Veel roest in oa wielkuipen en motorproblemen bij dergelijke dumpprijzen. Wordt steeds meer een liefhebbers auto
Fiat did another 2 seater convertible sports car ... the Fiat 124 Spider. Based on the Mazda MX-5 (or Miata) but with Fiat exterior styling and a similar 1.4 turbo engine to the Abarth 500. But sadly, for some bizarre reason, Fiat stopped selling them in the UK after only 3 or 4 years and 2000 to 2500 were sold.
This is purely my point of view. But I never liked the 124 spider as much. Compared to the mx-5 it just looked dated to me. It could have been a lot more exciting design wise, imo.

I owned a Barchetta Riviera for 15 years. I LOVED IT and it was my every day car :). A special little car and I wish that I still had it
It's one of those cars that really gets under your skin. Well done for using it 15 years!
I love my Barchetta: it's a low mileage 2006 car in silver and is like new. It also has a detachable hard top, so is great for winter driving.
Bought mine eleven years ago and don't want to let it go - best car I've had for holidays in Spain, France and of course Italy...

Thanks very much! A red Barchetta is truly an italian beauty.

The more I watch it the more I want one. It's more appealing than the Z3.
Great video.. Thanks!

Thanks, vergeet altijd hoe bijzonder dat Italiaanse metaal is ;).

The front of the concept looks like the brava/bravo must of been the inspiration
Bellissima 😍
Some of the interiors were lovely.
Based on a Punto chassis.
Never seen a facelift in the UK. Not sure we got those.
What do you mean by 1000€?
As in, I bought it for a €1000.
But stick around for the next videos to know what it ended it up costing me...
Good job. The restyled is not as nice as the original one.
I'd agree, but there have definitely been worse restyled models, it made it more of an acquired taste 😉
Want!
