The Fiat Coupé (type 175, officially titled the Coupé Fiat) is a two door, four seater coupé produced by the Italian manufacturer Fiat between 1993 and 2000. The car was introduced at Brussels Motor Show in 1993. It is most remembered for its distinctive, angular design, with unique scalloped side panels. The body was designed by Chris Bangle from Centro Stile Fiat, while the interior was designed by Pininfarina.

 

1998 saw the release of the Limited Edition (LE) which featured red Brembo brake calipers at the front and standard red calipers at the back, a body kit, push-button start, six speed gearbox, strut brace to make the chassis more rigid and Recaro seats with red leather inserts which offered better support than the standard 20V Turbo seats.

 

The LE was produced in Black (flat), Red (flat), Vinci Grey (metallic), Grigio Crono (flat) and Steel Grey (metallic). The bodywork of the LE also benefited from titanium coloured insert around the light bezels and the wing mirrors.

 

Each LE Coupé was manufactured with a badge located by the rear view mirror which contained that car's unique number (it is rumoured that Michael Schumacher was the original owner of LE No. 0001, however when the question was raised to him personally he confirmed he had owned one, but a red one, while LE No. 0001 is Grigio Crono).

 

This car is number 126 of 1,400 produced world-wide and a standard vehicle except for a dump valve and replacement exhaust.

​

The Vinci Grey paintwork is the most sought-after colour.  This LE has previously been owned by distinguished members of the Fiat Coupe Community, such as Jimmy Howden and Alex Simison.  We sold this car to a collector in 2018 who owned an Aston Martin Vantage & Lotus Carlton, but after acquiring a Mclaren he offered it us back as there was no space in his garage for his newest arrival!

​

The car is back on its original plate, but was fitted with the very appropriate and exclusive 'F14T LE'.  The plate is available to be purchased separately.

 

This very special LE has extensive service history from FCSS, The French & Italian Car Centre, PowerItalia, Race Italy, Fiat, Torque Italia, Gatwick Alfa and our world-renown Fiat Coupe Specialist John Cartlidge. 

​

The car comes with 3 keys, service invoicing, MOT history, previous tax discs (RFL) and an original Fiat Coupe LE brochures.
