1973 Fiat 130 Coupé 3200

Highlight

  • Low mileage of only 49,000 km - deemed correct by the seller
  • Repainted and refurbished in February 2022 after standing for several years in a heated garage
  • ASI Targa Oro
  • Re-roaded and fitted with valid overhaul

The Attractions

The Fiat 130 Coupé is one of the most elegant cars ever produced in Italy and probably the most prestigious Fiat ever, and has received prestigious awards for its exterior and interior design, the work of Paolo Martin for Pininfarina.

These luxury cars were produced in rather small numbers, and surviving examples are very rare, so we are particularly proud to present this beautifully styled 1973 example. With only 49,000 km on the odometer, which the seller assures us is correct, it has been driven very little in its five decades of life, as is evident when admiring its original interior with minimal signs of wear.

The restoration of the bodywork and extensive work recently carried out after it had been idle in the garage for some years, ensure that this charming Fiat is ready to get back on the road. It is ASI registered with Targa Oro and we have been informed that it has a valid MOT and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
