HIGHLIGHTS
- A Rare Expression of Italian Open-Top Design -
This 1997 Fiat Punto Selecta 1.2 ELX Cabriolet, styled and assembled by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Bertone, represents a charming and increasingly rare example of 1990s open-top motoring. Based on the first-generation Punto — the model that defined Fiat’s modern compact era — the Bertone Cabriolet adds a touch of sophistication and flair to the practicality and reliability that made the Punto a European favorite.
Finished in yellow with a neat and well-preserved grey interior, this Mk1 Cabriolet is a delightful survivor of its kind. Inside, the cabin features leather seats and classic Fiat ergonomics, exuding period charm while maintaining comfort and usability. The manual soft-top operates smoothly, transforming the car from a city-friendly hatchback to a spirited open-air cruiser within moments.
Powered by a 1.2-litre engine paired with Fiat’s Selecta automatic transmission, the car offers effortless drivability suited to both urban and leisurely weekend journeys. The alloy wheels complete the car’s tasteful, sporty aesthetic. With just 50k kilometers recorded and a recent service completed in February 2025, this example presents in good mechanical condition, ready to be enjoyed immediately.
As one of the few surviving Bertone-built Punto Cabriolets, this car stands as a collectible piece of Italian automotive design — compact, stylish, and increasingly uncommon on modern roads.
