She’s one of the best known faces
in television drama, so there was no mistaking when Angela Griffin
called in to collect her new car.
The actress, whose credits include
starring roles in Coronation Street, Holby City, Cutting It and,
most recently, Waterloo Road, was hoping for a few more weeks of
sunny weather as she collected the keys to her Fiat 500C.
Angela, who has been a fan of the
500C since its UK launch, has chosen a 1.2 Pop version in Cha Cha
Cha Azure with Ivory roof, and is looking forward to hundreds of
happy miles behind the wheel.
“I have a house in London, but I am
still working on Waterloo Road in Manchester, so I shall be up and
down the motorway quite a lot in the next few weeks,” says Angela.
“But I’m looking forward to those long journeys now – and when I
reach busy city centres the 500C will be ideal for the crowded
streets.
“The Fiat 500 has really caught the
imagination. You can see why it has become so popular – and the
addition of the convertible adds a new dimension. My two young
children are going to love driving around with the roof down.”
Available with a choice of three
frugal, ultra-low emissions, Euro 5 engines: 69 bhp 1.2-litre and
100bhp 1.4-litre petrol, or 75 bhp 1.3-litre MultiJet turbodiesel,
the new Fiat 500C can be ordered in two different trim levels – Pop
and Lounge.
With a starting price of £11,700
on-the-road, the new Fiat 500C represents outstanding value for
money when compared with similar soft-top rivals.
