Howdy,
Thought I'd pop on and say hello.
We're picking up our A500 this Saturday from Research. We only decided one week ago to definately buy the car, having nearly gone through with ordering a 1.4 Sport.
However having decided that it was an Abarth we wanted, a phone call placed to almost every dealer in the UK resulted in us unearthing a car to the perfect spec - Black, Red Stripe/Mirrors, Red Leather, Petals - in Research.
Ben and Ian there couldn't have been more helpful and tomorrow morning we point the old rust bucket MX-5 south from Aberdeen and after a stop off in Leeds we'll swap it for a brand spanking new 500 on Saturday.
Pinch me, I must be dreaming.
Love this site by the way - it played a big part in our decision to go for the Abarth. Everyone on the main 500 fourm is raving about the standard cars, but the posts I read here made me realise that the Abarth is the best option.
Cheers All!
