    Where is BBC Top Gears Punto GT?

    I put my rose tinted glassed on today and was watching the old Top Gear hot hatch road test including a GT2 and was wondering if the car used is still around?

    Has somebody here got it or would it have ended its life like a lot of press cars in the crusher or languishing at the back of the factory somewhere rusting away?

    The car was a 1996 or 1997 GT2 in red registration P498 CCF.

    Heres the video link for any of the younger lads here who might not have ever seen it....the test itself isnt very flattering of the Fiat.

    It was red, how often does a run of the mill car registration get changed?? Not very often, just speculation.

    all it takes is someone to put a private plate on, and if it gets taken off, its not guaranteed it will get the same number back on, and id say most cars i have owned have had private plates on at some point, especially if they've been through a few owners.

    My favourite line from Jezza was "with this you only get 1.4 litres and 8 valves, but, to compensate, you getta turbo. Hmmm......amusing."
