Description from the seller

STORY / OVERVIEW
The Fiat Barchetta represents one of the most fascinating models produced by the Turin house in the 1990s. It marked FIAT’s return to the spider segment after a long absence, reinterpreting the classic Italian roadster concept in a modern key: light, essential, and designed for pure driving pleasure.
The example offered at auction is chassis number 2,428. Since serial production started from 000162, this unit is one of the very first lots assembled at the historic Maggiora Carrozzeria plant. The 1995 Barchetta models are equipped with the original 1.8 16V engine producing 130 HP (engine code 183A1.000). This very first series (until May 1996) is historically known among enthusiasts for a slightly brighter engine map and shorter gear ratios compared to later versions. Delivered new in Italy, it still retains its original plates. Finished in the elegant Steel Grey color, it remains highly original, including the factory original paint, and represents an interesting opportunity as it is increasingly rare to find in genuine original configuration.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork preserves the factory-original paint and presents in excellent overall condition. Normal signs of use for the vehicle’s age are present, with some light patina in localized spots, not compromising the car’s overall attractive presentation.
The soft top is in good condition and functional, it keeps water out.
Recently, a professional detailing and polishing treatment was carried out, further enhancing the car’s glossy finish.
Verification with a coating gauge showed no signs of accidents or structural repairs.
The underbody is also completely original, generally solid, and shows no evidence of past accidents.
INTERIOR
The cabin fully preserves its factory-original leather/fabric configuration and is in good overall condition. The dashboard, door panels, carpeting and other coverings are well preserved, contributing to the car’s authenticity.
The overall impression is that of a true time capsule, a feature increasingly rare on this model.
The original first-equipment jack kit is also present.
MECHANICS
The car is equipped with its original engine, whose code and serial number correspond to the chassis number as listed on the registration papers.
A new battery, a new fuel pump, and a new exhaust tailpipe have been recently installed. The technical inspection is currently valid until August 2028, confirming the car’s road-legal suitability. Prior to the just-completed inspection, the car sat idle for many years and has been re-commissioned; however, routine maintenance before normal use is suggested.
Thanks to its delivery on the Italian market, and the high degree of originality, this Fiat Barchetta represents a timeless youngtimer, capable of combining open-top driving pleasure with growing interest from enthusiasts and collectors.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
