An original righthand drive UK specification model, this Fiat was first registered new in March 1972. Finished in resplendent Coral Red with a contrasting vinyl Black interior.
The car was resprayed and treated to a mechanical overhaul during 2017, including a 126 Fiat engine and new synchromesh gearbox, making the driving experience even more pleasurable and making it more usable in modern traffic.
A very smartly presented example that has benefitted from a considerable amount of attention over recent years. The Red paintwork is free from major defects, the original style registration plates and well-patinated rear lights really add to the charm. Inside, the stylish Black vinyl upholstery appears to be new and in unmarked condition. This charming little Fiat is ready to be fully enjoyed and shown off to admirers, no other car raises as many smiles. Definitely not to be missed!
