Another great sounding 5 cylinder is ofc the audi 200 specially with a tune. The video called " Audi 200 Quattro launching with launch control/anti-lag " one of the best sounding clips of an engine on youtube imo. And ofc Volvo's 5 cylinders are also nice.

LITTLE TIP alex!! MULTI ELECTRODE SPARK PLUGS ONLY £10.74 INC DELIVERY FOR BOSCH SUPER 4 SPARK PLUGS X5 IVE USED THOSE IN ALL MY CARS apart from my peugeot 407 coupe as its diesel i buy multi electrode spark plugs they give you a cleaner more accurate spark as you don't lose the gapping over time due to wear and tear its definitely a good thing to do,its not much extra money to buy the multi electrode plugs plus when you get most plugs even the expensive ones dont come with the correct gap plus after you do gap them you end up losing the gapping over time due to wear and tear due to heat etc where as with your multi electrode plugs you dont need to worry about gapping plus the plugs are usually longer lasting plus you can clean them without worrying about bending things so easily

I legit started tearing up hearing it start. I miss my old yellow Coupe Turbo 20v so much. It met its demise in the mountain wall of a tunnel unfortunately after a merc wrecked in front of me and I in him. Walked away from it with just some muscle tears in me back though, so even though I hope it never happens I can say they tolerate crashes at highway speeds relatively well.

ALEX have you ever drove a peugeot 407 coupe 2.7 hdi twin turbo diesel? mine is 250hp and 400 lb/ft of torque I fell into mine I found serious rot in my jaguar s-type r sills so needed a car to allow me to take the jag off the road to give me time to fix the car, I seen the Peugeot on facebook for £800 I got it for £700 it was an amazingly tidy example its the dark blue with the white leather and the extra leather dashboard(rare) and is got every single option apart from the electric adjustable suspension (wouldn't want that anyway) i got it cheap because there was a issue with the electrics but i sorted that out no problem and now there way up in value mine is worth easy 3 grand people are realising what they are! Ive had 307s and a 106 and 206 and my dads 309 before and i always seen peugeots as down market especially when it came to the interior but honestly the interior in the 407 coupe is beautiful!! even the seats rather than you pulling the handle and then sliding it to get in the back you pull the handle and it moves its self electrically! and its got a nice jbl sound system aswel the only thing that lets the car down is the very of its time non touch screen satnav its a good size but low res and no touch there are android ones out there but its to easy to mess up the sound system as they have a amp from factory so I'm looking at replacing the screen with a android one but leaving the factory radio etc alone the handling is really good aswel the chassis is really stiff you will notice in pics the doors have bits that stick out of the bottom of the doors that lock into the sills! I've been in 407 estates and 4 doors before but the coupe is a different beast altogether and in person in the rite colour they look great the long nose and short body really suits it plus that engine is nice and tourqey aswel Ive just got a map and intercooler so far but i plan on hybrid turbos and a few other bits im maybe thinking of a big single turbo as that's what land rover did with the same engine so im still trying to decide Your welcome to drive mine in the summer and do a video on it if you would like? im going to take a road trip to england at some point in summer anyway so i could go somewhere to meet you in summer if you want but honestly alex the car will surprise you so much if it had a jag badge or something from new i would honestly not question it when it comes to quality etc they really changed the car big time from the common 407's the leather dash and nav screen did it i think plus the seats are very smart SORRY FOR THE BIG COMMENTS

That car really deserves a full and in depth restoration, especially considering it's in UK and rust is just starting to get really through the paint. And I'm not saying it just because it's an Italian car and I'm Italian!

I work at a Fiat dealership & one thing I’ve learnt is if 2 people on the forum say it’s an issue, it some how a “common fault” 😂 a lot of people disrespect Fiat but they have made some unbelievable cars

3 iconic Italian cars in one garage. "But it´s a car that with the right road and the right driver can pull this 355´s panties down." (Quentin Willson on TopGear about the Lancia Delta Integrale)

A really really good car going to a proper car guy. Love this. I really think it will look stunning when the body work is all cleaned up and polished. As good as Phil sounds, Fabrizio trumps him with the noise of that 5 pot. And just because a car is/can be problematic doesn't mean it isn't a good car. But I honestly think these cars aren't as bad as some people make out. Looking forward to the next video Alex, and big up to Ant and Auto Sportivo.

Happy to see a Uno for a second just recently picked one up 🥰 Go go European small cars! Looking forward to more of this

Knocking it out of the park with content like this fella. Love the Fiat Coupe so really looking forward to what you can do with this...and so happy it didn't go bang on the dyno.

Im so excited for this series! My dad has a '98 one with 230k on the clock and for its age, it freaking rips! Since he is passing it to me I would love to get some insights on how to properly maintain it and furthermore tune it. As far as I remember, the turbo has been replaced, exhaust was patched up, electrical stuff redone, MAF sensor replaced and some bits that I'm missing. Good thing is, its bone stock and most of the miles were done by my parents. Many are interested in buying it and my mom insists on selling it, but now that Alex has stepped in, another fiat coupe 20v 5cyl will be reborn! So so so excited!

I have never seen one of these cars before, and I can't say I like it personally, but I love that you love the car Alex, and I look forward to seeing you and Fab have a great time togethter.

It was actually my families first car, unfortunately when i was about 4yo (arround 1999) my father was driving with me on the back seat. Those were the days kids still didn't go into kid seats where i'm from so i wasn't even buckled up. We were ascending a mountain so it was a very narrow road, basically if you encounter somebody one has to yield and wait at a bit wider part of the road. So on such road we were frontaly nailed by a speeding drunk truck driver, he just couldn't brake strong enough, my father even stuck it to reverse in time to soften the impact since the road was a cliff too narrow for us to try avoiding it. The impact itself i don't even remember, not even the slightest detail. But i didn't even have a scratch on myself, bruised all over though. The car didn't fare so well unfortunately, the engine was basically in the firewall and front end was just a bunch of metal. It's funny, even to this day my father remembers that car as one of the most fun to drive cars ever, and he is completely not a petrolhead, he just needs to go from point a to point b, and yet, that car was fun to him. That said a lot about it.

Good to see you appreciate an Italian car. They really aren't as unreliable as everyone portraits them. All cars break eventually, but if they are taken care of properly, they can last. In Italy there is loads and loads of 30-40 year old fiats and alfas and people seem to not mind keeping them alive. I bought an Alfa 159 last year and never regretted it.

Great car...had two, loved them both. It’s basically a tipo with a monster of an engine...looking forward to watching the restoration.

I owned a Coupe for 13 years and it never let me down. It will always be my favourite car.

tip for keeping the alternator alive spray fluidfilm on it from time to time, its a rust remover and inhibitor, and you may not want to rev it or drive it hard like you did when you first started it, good way to kill engine bearings and or turbo.

these are good for 180-185 with a little more power, glad you got one alex. been waiting for this for aaaaages.

Always had a thing for those coupes, can remember one that was for sale in a local car garage near me when I was about 10 (99/2000) and it was that same blue. Awesome looking car, they just have so much character. Hope you put some time into it! Getting scarce now.

Used to have one of these. It was a Sprinty too. Best colour imo although mine had a black leather interior.. My one had the so called hose of death go on it but thankfully It didn't damage the engine. However 2 years ago it failed the MOT on 2 things. Water had got into the electrics and everything went haywire and it had almost split in half due to rust. So it went off to Coupe heaven. Bloody loved that car. Should call your car either Liz or the non pc name Lisp see no. plate :)

Beautiful! Italian cars are not bad, I worked for 14 years at a FIAT dealer and saved many FIATs from death by doing good maintenance.

Sounds decent can’t wait to follow the progress 🤙🏻

Oh man, what an amazing car! I owned a Lancia K with the same engine and it was a blast to drive, wonder how it must be in a car that's probably a whole lot lighter! I miss the Lancia so much!

Great start to the series 👍🏻 Wish the video was longer though. Let me know if you want a grey leather interior 😉 Mine is sat in the garage - tan doesn't work in sprinty.

I know exactly what those 5 cylinder 20v engines are like. I had one in a Fiat Marea. The non turbo variant. But still good for 140mph though. Miss that engine like crazy. Can’t wait to see what happens next ✔️

Great to see an Uno as well, I had a few of them, 2 from new, and put 230K miles on an 1100! I always found Fiat to be super reliable if maintained properly.

Hand on heart, when you guys said 223-227, I said "No way, that small of a change wouldn't be that obvious. It's got to be like 240."

Looks like a great project for this channel !

great video as always, keep up the good work :)

I owned a coupe (non turbo) for 6 month's. Issues were. Rear lights stopped working. Cambelt snapped then rebuilt Balance shaft slipped Starting motor engaged at 70mph So you spend more time of road than on it but it one hell of a car (drive and looks) But absolutely loved it and now looking for a yellow one.

The Coupe 20VT must be one of Fiat’s absolute best cars

Alex has a really good taste in cars! I also had a fiat coupé (unfortunately the 1.8 last edit, not the 20v) and now I own a Mx5 NA😆
