Roadworthy car that be be driven and enjoyed
Practical classic for restoration

The Appeal

Few classics maximise space quite like the Giardiniera. From the 500’s compact dimensions Fiat somehow fashioned a surprisingly spacious estate car with four seats and a decent size boot.

These cars make great classics or mobile business advertising boards. This Coral Red ‘71 is a complete running car that has bags of potential. For the right buyer it offers a chance to take its originality in whatever direction they want, from light titivation that retains the character to full restoration. Whatever its future holds, we wish this characterful classic well on its next journey.

The vendor says:

"It’s roadworthy with all paperwork in order. It obviously needs restoration, but it can be driven without any problems. To get it in the best possible condition, you just need to replace the left and right floor panels. Below the door and beneath the battery, the car is exactly as shown in the photos."
