Anyone had any dealings with these guys? There's a decent (from the pics at least) Fiat Coupe in there that I fancied having a look at but want to know if anyone's bought from these guys and if they're any good.
cheers peeps

Don't know much about Fiat Coupe's, but a mate had an Alfa GTV which I think is the same chassis and the quote for the timing belt was like a telephone number. The engine has to come out due to the belt going around one of the engine mounts, so make sure it's been done and has lots of miles left. I might be completely wrong on this though

Went to have a look this morning, looked great apart from wheels that were falling apart, however had a play round at the gears and it was like stirring treacle so gave it a miss :-( Had a look round a few other garages at Festa's and was unsuprisingly underwhelmed

timing belt can be done with engine in. when I worked at Fiat we took near side engine mounting off and jacked engine up a bit, awkward but easier than dropping it out. still a very expensive job at dealers though
If its a tidy car buy it mate you wont be dissappointed just make sure exhaust manifold is ok they have a habit of blowing and they aint cheap
