2010 ABARTH 500 ESSEESSE RED (HPI CLEAR / MOT UNTIL MAR 2016 / 1 OWNER FROM NEW)

Having collected my new car, my rare Abarth 500 Esseesse is up for sale. I ordered the car brand new from Arnold Clark Abarth Edinburgh and took delivery in April 2010. The car was serviced by them during the initial 3 year warranty period. Since then I have carried out all minor maintenance with receipt back-up including 6000 mile oil changes required for the Esseesse model. It has also been run on super unleaded for 99% of the time.
The car has recently passed its MOT and I have driven it long distances from Aberdeen to Cardiff and round the west coast of Scotland in the past with no issues. I have also ran an RAC HPI report on the car which came back clear, this also gives the new owner 3 months free breakdown cover. The car never gets dull to drive and I will be really sad to see it go.
