Plus points

The Fiat 850 was based on a tried and tested concept, that of the Fiat 500 and 600, while developing it into a range of more spacious and versatile family cars. These models, with more powerful engines, were suitable for longer journeys and could accommodate more passengers and luggage.

For all these reasons, an 850 saloon is now a popular modern classic. It's just as at home at a classic car gathering as it is on weekly errands or daily commutes. Economical and reliable, they are excellent models for starting out in the world of classic cars.

This 1968 Fiat 850 offers all that, plus the opportunity for an interesting and potentially rewarding restoration project. It is a solid car with very low mileage - 53,319 km confirmed by the vendor - and is also complete. For the ideal buyer, this is an exciting winter project.

BEFORE BUYING

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.

✓ We ask that a non-refundable fee is paid if you are the lucky winner of the auction or if your bid is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific fees.

✓ This vehicle is "sold as is", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are for illustrative purposes only and it is customary to carry out a full vehicle inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or tender price, as specified in the advert.

✓ We want the transaction to go as smoothly as you do, which is why UK-registered cars and motorbikes offered for sale on Car & Classic are HPI-checked to ensure they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not financially pledged, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as part of a total loss at the time the advert is placed on Car & Classic and provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) to help you. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the status of the vehicle and it is always worth carrying out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.

✓ Buyers are responsible for the collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third party transport company who can assist you. For more details and to speak to the team, email [email protected].
