Fulham Football Club and Fiat UK Via Motor VIllage are to launch a Limited Edition 500X

A new special edition Fiat 500X has just been launched in London to celebrate the continuing successful partnership between Fiat Chrysler Motor Village UK and Fulham Football Club.

The special version of the popular Fiat SUV – the Fulham FC special Edition – features distinctive styling details, exclusive black, white and red paint finish and unique ‘FFC’ badging, along with a host of 500X standard equipment. It will be sold through Motor Village UK, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles UK’s flagship dealer.

A limited run of just 15 of this celebration range of cars will be built, designed exclusively for Fulham FC season ticket holders. The special cars will cost £21,365 OTR.

Available in two different styles – City Look and Off-Road Look – the car is based on the 500X Pop Star version, and includes among its standard equipment: alloy wheels, front fog lights with cornering function, rear parking sensors, climate control, six airbags, cruise control and 5-inch touchscreen with navigation, Bluetooth, USB and aux-in socket.

The SKYbet Championship football club is also holding a prize draw in which one lucky winner will get to drive a new Fiat 500X Fulham FC Special Edition for two weeks, with their keys being handed over by the team’s players. Signed footballs and shirts are also available as runners-up prizes.

“This is another excellent example of how we are teaming up with Fulham FC and its supporters,” says Fabio di Prima, managing director, Motor Village UK. “There’s the prize draw to win the limited edition 500X for two weeks, the chance to meet the players and the opportunity for season ticket holders to purchase the new car.

“Of course, if a non-season ticket holder would like to buy the Fulham FC Special Edition – or any other of our large range of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles cars – we would be delighted to sign them up!”

“It is important to us to ensure that our partners and supporters have a positive relationship, and being able to offer such a fantastic prize is a really tremendous way of highlighting that,” says Casper Stylsvig, chief revenue officer, Fulham FC.

“The limited edition 500X is really quite unique, so with an opportunity to win, plus an additional competition to meet the players, Motor Village really has excelled itself in giving added value to the Fulham fanbase which we are delighted about; good luck to all!’

Note to editors: Motor Village UK is Official Car Partner to Fulham FC and offers exclusive deals to club season ticket holders on new Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Jeep and Abarth cars. The prize draw is open to Fulham FC season ticket holders, over-18s and holders of a valid driving license.

TV Host Dan Lobb takes the keys of his new FIAT 500X from Motor Village UK in London.

The growing popularity of the Fiat 500X has been demonstrated again after former professional tennis player and now TV presenter Dan Lobb took delivery of his new car recently in London.

And it was certainly a case of game, set and perfect match for Dan, who currently presents Channel 5’sCowboy Builders show. With a long list of wishes from a car, he was delighted to find the 500X crossover answered all of his demands.

Dan, who retired from tennis to become a GMTV sports presenter and main anchor on ITV’s morning show Daybreak, chose the 500X City Look Lounge 1.4 MultiAir 140hp DCT for its performance, versatility, looks – and space for his large dog.

“I’m six feet four inches tall so I wanted something with an SUV look and feel to it,” says Dan, who took delivery of his car from Fiat’s flagship London dealer Motor Village UK. “I was pleasantly surprised with the room the 500X gives, along with great comfort and a feeling of performance when I need it.

“I also wanted technology features, such as the Uconnect touchscreen phone interface and Start and Stop, modern looks and value for money. And it had to be able to take the dog – I tried her in the back during my test drive to see if she fitted!”

All Fiat 500X Lounge-specification cars come with a host of standard equipment, including 18-inch alloy wheels, privacy windows, keyless entry and go, automatic climate control, rear parking sensors and electric park brake.

Powered by a 1368cc four cylinder petrol engine, the Fiat 500X City Look 1.4 MultiAir  accelerates from 0-62mph in 9.8 seconds and has a top speed of 118mph.

The Fiat 500X City Look range starts at £14,595 OTR for the 1.6 E-Torq 110hp.

Motor Village UK is pleased to supply the Italian Ambassador with a brand new Alfa Giulietta.

Every customer who visits Motor Village UK is a VIP, and that was certainly true this week (2 November) when the Italian ambassador arrived to collect his new Alfa Giulietta from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles’ flagship London dealer.

His Excellency, Ambassador Pasquale Terracciano, was handed the keys to his new Giulietta 1.4 170 TCT Business Edition by Fabio di Prima, managing director, Motor Village UK.

The twin-clutch, semi-automatic car will be used for general Embassy duties, including travelling to official engagements throughout London, and collecting foreign delegates arriving from Italy into Heathrow Airport.

And there is an added bonus to having the Giulietta, according to the Ambassador.

“The official Ambassador’s car is a Maserati, but the Alfa will be ideal for me when I want to move around with a little less visibility,” says Mr Terracciano. “The Giulietta is a stylish car, but more discreet in that respect.

“I am delighted to take delivery also, for sentimental reasons,” he adds. “The first car I can ever remember being in was my father’s Alfa Romeo Giulietta, so it is nice to be back in a more modern version.”

“We were delighted when the Ambassador’s office contacted us about a new car,” says Fabio di Prima. “The Giulietta fits perfectly with the Ambassador’s requirements, and I am sure he will have many years of happiness with it.”

The Alfa Giulietta range starts at £18,450 OTR for the 1.4 TB 120 Progression.
