Practical Classics (UK)

Firm Fiat fans since 2002!

Here to help if you love the Fiat Coupé

-

Fiat Coupé Club UK was establishe­d in 2002 to support the owners of the Coupé Fiat (really – that’s what Fiat call it!). The club has enormous expertise in technical matters – maintenanc­e, restoratio­n, and tuning – but it is also a social outfit supporting a general discussion forum open to club members and nonmembers alike. It is carefully run by an elected committee of current club members.

It is a largely Uk-based club, with the majority of members there, but the general membership extends right across the gobe. The club welcomes anyone with an interest in the Coupé; there’s

no need to own a Coupé to join up, either. Indeed, several members no longer own Coupés but still take an active interest.

The club works hard to establish the Coupé as a modern classic with regular appearance­s at shows such as the

Practical Classics

Classic Car and Restoratio­n Show at the NEC and Autoitalia at Brooklands. It will be at the Silverston­e Classics on July 26-28 this year (with a discount for club members), and on August 18 you’ll find the club at Brands Hatch Festival Italia, with a Grandstand Suite exclusivel­y for club members. This year, club members will be attending 25th Anniversar­y events in Turin with Coupés from all over Europe. Many have recently returned from a regular visit to the track at Assen.

The club may be small, but it is very busy; helping marque specialist­s to recreate otherwise unavailabl­e parts, writing software to interrogat­e the Coupés ECU, and encouragin­g the production of a handy users’ guide/technical manual. Member benefits include discounts on parts and insurance, plus access to Fiat’s technical documentat­ion, and dedicated areas of the forum.
