Abarth Punto Evo 1.4 Turbo Hatchback 2011 Manual 3-door

Description

Got this Abarth Punto Evo from a house buy – it’s one of only five red ones registered in the UK, and I’m not selling it because I want to, it’s just that the house sale meant I had to part with it.

It’s a 2011 1.4 Turbo hatch, 3 doors, manual – original 18” Esseesse alloys are still in the car, not selling them separately. The car’s been recently serviced (about 1,000 miles ago), so I’ve had a new battery, alternator, and timing belt done. Two new front tyres too – less than 500 miles on them, with tracking done. I’ve also got a decat pipe on, but I’m keeping the original cat for MOT.

It’s got a printout showing it’s been mapped to 195bhp – not a flashy mod, just a genuine Esseesse engine.

A few honest bits:
- Clutch starts slipping at the top end of 5th gear, but it’s fine in town – doesn’t affect daily driving much
- Heater blowers don’t work – easy fix, just never really needed it
- A couple of dash warnings, probably fuses – nothing major

Paint isn’t perfect, and it’s not the best car in terms of looks, but it runs well overall. MOT runs until December 18th 2025.

I’m not selling it for a lot – it’s £2,700 – but I’ve been using it for a few years and it’s just sitting here, so figured it might be useful for someone who wants a decent, low-key project car that’s not common anymore.

If you’ve got questions or want to check it out, feel free to message. Test drives are welcome.

It’s based in Maesteg, Bridgend County Borough.
