Overview
Welcome to the advert for my ABARTH 500 TMC motorsport tuned car.
I have owned the car for over 3 and half years since March 2011 and will be sad to see it go.
The car is only being sold I am upgrading to a bigger more powerful vehicle.
It has been a great little car and always gets lots of attention due to the limited numbers on the road.
The car has just had the timing belt and water pump changed a week ago and MOT is valid till 25th October 2015, road tax till end of ???

Bodywork
The Bosa white exterior paint is in excellent condition for the year with no car park dents and just a few age related stone chips that have been touch up with the officialABARTH colour pen (included).It has been regularly washed, polished and has been detailed with a clay bar to remove tar spots and imperfection from day to day use. It makes a massive difference giving the paintwork giving a wonderful smooth finish after polish is applied.
Interior
The interior is also in excellent condition and the car has never been smoked in.
The overall look still stacks up well against new cars and has a great combination classy design features, the leather flat bottom steering wheel and dial console are the highlights
The red leather front sport seats (ABARTH badges added) are very supportive and in great condition with a couple of small scuffs (jean studs have caused these) that have been treated with polish and leather conditioner.
The passenger side dash has had an Arbarth sticker added to the 500 logo.
Official ABARTH 500 mats in the front, back as well as a 500 boot tray to protect the carpet.
The rear seats are also in excellent condition and have rarely been used during my ownership.
The in car entertainment features the standard blue and me system (cd player,MP3 play back via USB, voice controlled Bluetooth connectivity for hands free calling.

 as well as the optional Interscope sound system (6 speakers, sub under the seat and amp.

Wheels and Tyres
The multispoke 17" alloy wheels were swapped for a brand new set in 2013 and remain in fantastic condition with no kerbing at all on all 4 wheels.
The tyres Westlake SV308 were chosen after researching alternatives to the branded names and come very highly rated indeed
http://www.national.co.uk/tyres/brand/westlake/sv308-xl/
they have over 6mm tread on every wheel are guaranteed against accidental damage by tyre-shopper (contact me for more details if required)
The centre caps are the original metallic grey ones (later models had them replaced with the chrome as the originals were prone to peeling paint)
a simple coat of clear lacquer has kept my in excellent original condition and they do look far better than the chrome ones in my opinion.
I also have a set of 4 identical 17" mutlispoke alloys (marked, kerbed and lacquer corrosion) fitted with winter tyres that have been used for just 3 months last year that can be purchased at an additional cost if required.
 
Engine and service history
The 1.4 T-jet- multi air engine has been fitted with a TMC tuning box to increase the performance by approx 30 BHP from the standard 135 BHP to around 165 BHP making almost identical to the Esseesse remap provided by Fiat.
It really improves the standard performance and has been faultless during the 3 years it has been fitted.
The box is fully adjustable (0-9) and can be removed in less than 30 seconds if required (see video)
