Heres a pic of the ritmo

you sir are a legend. I remember years ago when I was only a young child, my parents got a loan of one of them to go to a wedding in Dublin. I thought it was the coolest car ever made at the time. Been trying for years to remember it. I could picture it in me head but didnt know the make let alone the model.
Remember sitting in it outside my house for hours, soaking in its awesomeness ha ha.

I'm actually surprised that the Ritmo is not in worse condition rust wise.

I'd love a Fiat 130 Coupé
Is he trying to corner the market? most are probably too far gone though.

Ah no, I knew that a prototype existed. It's just I never knew that anyone bought any.

Man see that off Greenhills Rd every other day, along with a Carina. That either something put up to mark out the garage on that little road going from Greenhill Rd to that roundabout in front of Fashion City, a mascot of sorts, or it's a survivor of a portion of a junkyard that perhaps extended that far, which now is only behind that house. It's probably no more than a mascot.

Wow great pics ... are they a pair of Fiat 130's in the bottom pic by any chance? - beautiful understated cruiser. Just looking at the very first pic ... is that not an 'FM104' sticker on the windscreen?

It's the old 'Rock 104' sticker, the old name for FM104. I remember they were common place on cars in the 90's. Sure my old Micra had a World Cup '94 98FM sticker on it. Shame it peeled away.

We have much pleasure in offering this superb example today of an executive coupe that has only really come to be appreciated for its ride and comfort over the last few years.
This Fiat Coupe, designed by Pininfarina, has covered a warranted 77000 miles from new and is in very good condition all round and has the benefit of a current M.O.T. certificate until September 1996 and road fund licence until November. It has spent some considerable time of its life in Cyprus and has covered only 2000 miles in the last two years and we are informed that there were only 130 examples built in right hand drive form.
The car, which is sold with no known faults, comes with a workshop/owners manual and a service history from Cyprus. This car will provide the new owner with fast and reliable motoring.

That's not a Rock 104 one, it's an FM104 one. The Rock one was circular, here's a bigger shot of the sticker in the pic.

Ah yes, my mistake. They did all look similar though.
