Wonderful dark blue velour interior
Extremely original car that runs properly and drives well
The Appeal
The 130 Coupé is a masterpiece of understatement, a stunning car that has had an enormous influence on automotive design. It also helped save Pininfarina, who created a masterpiece by creating a new design on the austere architecture of Fiat's 130 saloon.
Only a few thousand buyers had the chance to test drive one of these exceptional cars. Those lucky few discovered that beyond the elegant lines was a sumptuous interior and a powerful V6 engine designed by Lampredi.
Here we have the opportunity to appreciate all these qualities first hand. This car comes to market having received a professional repaint in the original metallic silver and a thorough mechanical overhaul. The long list of work carried out included timing belts, power supply, power steering rebuild and automatic transmission overhaul. Naturally, it has also been fully serviced.
In very good condition, with a particularly attractive blue velvet interior, this is a remarkable example of one of Pininfarina and Fiat's most celebrated products.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
