Great history, probably the best example Stilo Schumacher money can buy!Heres a car youd probably forgotten about, or even never heard of. The Fiat Stilo was introduced to the world in 2001, with the expectation of being lapped up by European buyers keen on hot hatches at the time. Sales figures were not quite what the company had hoped for, and even fewer Stilos have survived to this day, making it something of a rarity. In an increasingly desperate attempt to garner interest in the Stilo, Fiat released a number of special editions. These included, bizarrely, the Xbox edition which featured flashes of neon green trim and this Schumacher edition. It comes fitted with the topoftherange fivecylinder, 20valve, 2.4litre engine and has the distinguishing feature of being painted Ferrari Red. Other unique features include the numbered plaque on the dashboard indicating that this car was the 125th Schumacher edition to be sold, out of just 200 in the UK. The snazzy pedals and limited edition badges are also features of the model. That 2.4litre engine is snugly fitted into the engine bay, and its power is fed to the front wheels via a fivespeed manual transmission. The Schumacher edition features lowered suspension, with the front given slightly more lowering than the rear, and the wheel arches reprofiled to fit neatly. This particular Stilo comes with only one registered former keeper, and it has clearly been carefully looked after. That bright red paintwork remains in excellent condition, and the interior is also very well preserved. Its a shame the Stilo wasnt a sales success when new, but at least that means you can be pretty sure you wont pass many others on the road. If its rarity youre after, then this Fiat has it by the bucketful. Or should that be thimbleful? Registered October 31st 2005
