1936 Fiat Topolino - RHD Prototype, History back to 1950s For Sale

DPX 762 was manufactured in 1936, first registered on 14th April 1938 and is a UK RHD example that comes with an extensive history file to include an original brown buff logbook dating back to the late 1950’s. This example is an incredibly rare car, in 1936 an assembly plant was established in a disused cinema in Hammersmith and in over two years 400 RHD cars were assembled. Just a few prototypes were fitted with experimental side windows in the C pillars and four seat configuration, and DPX 762 is one of these very rare cars. Until this car was discovered, it was understood that two of these rare side window prototype cars were known, one in Holland, and one in England.
From the paperwork we can see the Fiat spent most of its life in the South East and South West. The Fiat changed hands between Sussex, Surrey and Somerset and in 2008 was discovered in a dry barn. The Topolino required major refurbishment and its ‘new' Surrey based owner embarked on a ten years restoration. The body was taken back to bare metal and subject of a complete respray, the interior was fully re-furbished , the engine was overhauled, the clutch plate replaced and the general mechanicals re-commissioned. The gearbox was stripped, carburettor rebuilt, the car re-wired, running boards replaced, new tyres fitted and various new interior chrome work fitted.
Since completion, the car has had hardly any use. As a result, we will be carefully running it in, making the required adjustments and servicing its for its new owner. This is a fabulous rare example, it's a true collectors piece and ideal for shows, rallies and events.
