The Attractions
We are pleased to present this gem, which is sure to attract the attention of classic car collectors and classic workshop operators. It is a perfectly efficient 1954 Fiat 615N van that has been converted to transport two cars. What better way to attend an event with your own precious classic car or to collect and deliver the cars of your workshop customers?
For many years, the 615N was a familiar presence on Italian roads, transporting all kinds of goods and offering a wide range of equipment. In 1952, a year after the introduction of the 615, the option of the brand new 1.9 L Fiat diesel engine was offered, which gave the 615 its name - N for Naphtha.
Fascinating original registration documentation confirms that this diesel-engined example was purchased in January 1954 in chassis trim. It was restored some 30 years ago and repainted in its original white colour. Over the years it has been professionally outfitted to transport two cars.
Today it presents itself very well, in working condition. Being a commercial vehicle it inevitably shows some signs of age and use, but its reupholstered interior looks really cosy, and will make transporting classic cars around the country a pleasure.
We have been informed that this truck is in excellent mechanical condition and has a valid MOT.
