Not unless someone imported a LHD one.

I only know of two and both are in Germany. I understand that the waffle seats were also available in black too, again only on continental coupés.

There are quite a few Coupé options that were never made available to the UK market. That said some euro spec Coupés were supplied in RHD, these were TAX FREE and British Forces sales.

The non UK options include rare seat and interior colours such as, Grey, Cream, light fawn and burgandy. Other available options were headlamp washers & heated seats.

I have one but none of the exotic options.
20Vt with leather and a/c was £14,500, nato personnel had access to something like the affinity scheme. Kept the car 6 months/put on 4k miles and sold it on in UK List price for this spec was £25k in UK.

Lots of complaints from FIAT dealers effectively ended the practice when MOD forced a rule change that you only could buy 1 new car a year.

Yep I used to work for NATO in the 80's, there were some fantastic barains to be had. I purchased a LHD Audi. I thought I was going to be staying in europe but then got posted back to the UK shocked laugh

Back then there were quite a few items missing from the spec of my car, when compared to a UK spec model, but it was REALLY cheap hehe

I have headlight washer jets - are they rare? I thought they were standard.

Only standard on some models in certain areas of Europe.

Never standard actually, they were an option (unfortunately, because they look terrible!).

Waffle= Waffle pattern on the leather seats.
Jizzbags= Airbags

You might see other similar phrases such as "Jizzbag Recaros" which are the 20VT6 Recaro 'Plus' type seats with built-in side airbags smile

Well, I'd never say never but I'm quite attached to the old thing after 12 years. Having said that, it really needs a new sugar daddy if it is going to last much longer.

I looked at a green coop with grey leather interior, which worked quite well together. Was in Hungerford, but needed quite a bit of work on it, and had pretty bad lacquer peel!

I'm sure I'm going to annoy the standard-ites, but in that 2nd picture (and to an extent, the last one), it looks a tad 4x4-like. Maybe I'm just used to seeing mine...
