Hi all.
I've gone from a 16vt to a 16v mainly due to someone offering a very high price for my 16vt and me finding a very clean example of a 16v that's been stored for most of its life and in my fav colour Broom Yellow.
I have to admit I wasn't expecting much bang for my £ but im pleasantly surprised.
It pulls like a train and when it hits 4500 rpm it sits down, the exhaust note crispens and it really moves.
Obviously not as quick as my 16vt but not a huge gap.
I love it.

Just changed all belts, was still on original belts and badly perished and cracked. New plugs coils and dizzy cap n rotor arm eliminated slight missfire.
Sailed its MOT advisory was perished rear tyres, which are original so not bad for 18 year old. Has been in dry dock for many years.

Nice to see another of the best version - I much prefer the 16NA for driving over the 20vt (though the latter is better for a long fast drive!)

You might enjoy a glance here http://www.fiatcoupeclub.org/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=1478096#Post1478096 regarding a car which has probably got a few more miles than yours!
