Description
This is a stunning conditioned example of this very rare model of which, only 98 were produced in total by Vignale in Torino and it is said that, only just over 20 examples were made in Right Hand Drive. We have had it confirmed by the Vignale Register in Italy it is a matching numbers example & the third from last chassis number produced.
Still wearing its original coloured Verde paintwork, that was refreshed for the first owner over 25 years ago, with its original near unmarked Black Vinyl interior
As it is based on the Fiat 125S model it has the wonderful, 1600cc Twin Cam engine mated to a Five speed manual gearbox.
Although a 1969 model it was registered in Torino in 1971, to its first owner a Snr Antonio Gozzo (born in 1914). It was then inherited by his daughter, a Grazia Gozzo (born 1945) in 2011 and then in 2012 transferred to the Amadducci Collection in Cesena, from whom we have just purchased it.
In 1996 whilst still with her first owner she was awarded the prestigious Gold Level Plaque by the ASI Historic Registro Fiat Italiano.
It is now UK registered on a Historic tax exempt age related registration number, and has been Mot’d, although being exempt.
There are more detailed pictures on our own website at Classics & Cabriolets.
To further view her in action there is a Video of her on "Down at the Barns" YouTube channel.
Also at the last "Classics at the Villa" show in Shenley, Hertfordshire last year, she won a prize for fourth out of 10 Best Show Cars.
We just had a photoshoot of Samantha with Autoitalia magazine with an editorial going to be in May's addition out end of this April. They made a wonderful comment & opinion of her
"We thought it was almost perfect and a car you could just get in a drive. A welcome addition to any classic car or Fiat enthusiast’s collection especially with the superbly reliable Fiat twin cam engine. With such a low mileage it has to be one of the best and most original and valuable 125s out there."
She was also invited by Autoitalia to there Italian Car Day at Brooklands, then had pride of place in front there own display.
