‘A true one off’, bizarre barn find Fiat limo with just 2,700 miles on the clock can be yours for less than £3k
A BIZARRE Fiat Uno limousine could be yours for less than £3,000 and it only has 2,700 miles on the clock.
The vehicle was discovered in a barn in Knutsford, Cheshire, and is apparently still there, according to the eBay ad details.
The online seller believes the car was bought new by the Halifax building society who then had the car converted into a limo which apparently cost more than the price of the car when it was bought new.
It was then used in an advert and sold on shortly afterwards.
The current owner put a new futon in it along with a battery and it “started up within a few turns and sounds good. No smoke or unwanted noises.”
The elongated Fiat Uno reportedly drove out of the barn “with no issues” and was inspected by the owner before being put back in the barn just over a year ago.
