FIAT 1500 very rare For Sale (1963) edit C117727 | | | I have for sale my 1963 FIAT 1500. I purchased it to go classic rallying with, but due to a change in circumstances I have to alter my plan.
This dark blue Fiat is still registered on its Italian registration, however I do have the paperwork, it can be driven in the UK as I have done, it is on a classic policy which cost £106 for the 12 months.
The car has all sorts of mods, but originally it was purchased by a gentleman in Sicily to carry his family to and from his relatives in Germany, the last time it did this run was in 99/2000.
It was then prepared for Italian hillclimbs, and sand racing in North Africa[not as difficult as it may seem, there is a ferry from Sicily to N Af]
The car has Abarth badges, so it may have been tuned by the company or one of its agents, but more of note are the obvious mods.
It has a FIAT 132 Engine [TWIN CAM] 1600
It has a 5 speed gear box ... Floor Mounted
It has a Second Petrol Tank, with its own fuel pump
It has been re-wired now neg earth
It has the [newish] battery mounted in the boot
It has servo's on the brake system [original spec did not]
It has Alloy cross spoke wheels and good tyres
The bodywork is very good, there are no signs of filler on the wings/doors/roof/boot/bonnet/sills/front however the rear panel needs tidying, the chromework is very good.
This little car turns heads wherever it goes, it makes a wonderful sound from the exhaust.
There are a few faults and I truly would like to see the car recommissioned, ideally it needs,
1]Welding to the floor twixt the pedal box under front seats
2]Repaint
3]Brakes need attention, poss due to standing
4]Speedo cable needs fixing
5]Radio/ cassette needs sorting
The car is viewable [undercover] at Doncaster UK, please contact Richard Thanks
ps Kettle will be on !!!
