AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

IN RISALTO:
• Iconic two-seat spider in black with a fully functioning mechanical convertible top
• Engine head rebuilt in 2025 together with the replacement of the two transmission shafts
• Only 2 former owners since new
• Equipped with its own maintenance booklet with a history of the work performed

STORIA/PANORAMICA:
The Fiat Barchetta, produced from 1995 to 2005 and designed by Andreas Zapatinas, is a famous Italian two-seater spider that captured the charm of classic roadsters from the 1960s. This 1996 example, finished in elegant black, is equipped with the lively 1.8 16V engine. The car has had only two owners in its history, has always been carefully kept in a garage with regular servicing, and currently shows 144,450 km. It comes with its maintenance booklet documenting the performed work.

CARROZZERIA/VERNICIATURA:
The bodywork is in good overall condition and has been repainted in glossy black. Two light scratches are noted at the spoiler cover for the convertible top. The black fabric manual-operated soft top opens and closes regularly. The floors and underbody are in good condition and free of rust. The tires are in good usable condition.

INTERNI:
The interior is well maintained with original integrated fabric seats and well preserved. The on-board instrumentation, indicators, lights, cabin fan, and the main electrical controls are all perfectly functional.

MECCANICA:
The car is equipped with the Fiat 1.8 16V four-cylinder engine, paired with a five-speed manual transmission plus reverse. In 2025, the mechanicals underwent major work, including the rebuild of the engine head and replacement of the two transmission shafts, in addition to the latest service. The engine starts reliably when cold and warm, with smooth operation and no visible oil leaks. Brakes, belts, and suspension are in good working condition.

DOCUMENTI:
The car is supplied with its original Italian documents in order for the transfer of ownership and with the maintenance booklet including the chronology of the works performed.

The car is available for viewing and collection. Prospective buyers are advised to view the vehicle before making an offer. The costs associated with the transfer of ownership, outward documentation procedures, or transport remain the buyer’s responsibility.

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.
