Fiat Seicento Michael Schumacher Limited Edition
Sitting here with all its original grace
- How did you find this Fiat?
It was a lucky barn find from one of our colleagues at the purchase department. Only 3 previous owners had this car on the roads until it was abandoned in 2018.
After being abandoned, we decided to bring life back to this
Fiat Seicento Michael Schumacher limited edition number 774 out of only 5000 units made.

And now, after some renovation, she is back on the road with all its
original glory.
There was no part of the car untouched.
All moving parts were checked for wear and rust. The car was always kept inside so was in a good condition.
Also, seals, rubbers, and connections were treated and replaced where needed.
The body received a full treatment. 2 stage polish and paint correction, dents removal, panel alignment and coating after all to seal from future exposure to the elements.
Even the paint inside the cabin was retouched and polished to give the car the
showroom finish it has now.
Side door trims, logos and stickers were all bought original from Italy. We could even source the original booklet the car used to come with, containing all the specs and description of the Limited Edition.
Ultimately, engine and gearbox went trough a deep inspection. Major service, carbon clean up, wheel tracking and balance, new tyres and all the TLC possible went into it.
- Ok so what is the Michael Schumacher limited edition?
Fiat made some versions of their cars with limited editions. It happened with the Stilo, Punto and 500 also.
This one in special has some touches from Michael Schumacher like signatures, limited edition plates, wider body kit with skirts and spoiler, bigger Abarth 14inch alloys and some tweaks by made by Abarth like a close gear ratio.
All those made the Seicento stand out back when it was launched and still, when on the road today, it turns a lot of heads.
- Yeah but, how does the car drive?
When it comes to driving it is a multi-sensory experience.
With such a short wheel base and only 735kg of kerb weight, the car is very agile. It goes around obstacles almost like a quad bike.
It does have only 54bhp (when now) I know, I know. But what it does with that is give you just enough speed to have fun and risk some spirited driving.

What is the top speed of the Fiat Seicento Michael Schumacher limited edition, you might ask me. It's astonishingly high for a car this size, hitting 93mph according to Fiat.
Such a nostalgic experience to drive a lightweight car. It is a big contrast with the massive cars from today.
This Fiat, when moving, feels so in control and predictable that you realize actually how tactile a driving experience can be.
Of course, it is a 24 year-old car, so you probably wont be daily driving this gem. But definitely some occasional (yet frequent enough) driving would be deeply appreciated by the
next lucky owner.
Here you can see the original ad from late 1997 featuring Michael Schumacher himself driving through Rome.
The only thing left to do is come in to our showroom and take this gem out for a drive.
