Unregistered
Chassis # 658339
- A very original transformation
- A rare model, documented history
- Recent work done on the car
- No reserve
This very distinctive car is a transformation of the Fiat 600 by coachbuilder Francis Lombardi. Called the "Lucciola", its price was one and a half times the price of a standard 600, which says a lot about the clientele for which it was intended. Its four opposite opening doors facilitate access on board, and the finish benefits from special hubcaps. The number of survivors is estimated at five or six examples.
The one we offer was found in the garage of a former Fiat dealer, who had saved it from the scrap dealer and kept it for thirty years in this state. The car has not been on the road since 1984, and the record includes photos when it was discovered, before the restoration.
While retaining the fun character of the Fiat 600, this Lucciola has the advantage of originality and rarity, while displaying easy access to the rear seats. These qualities should be appreciated by fans of small cars looking for something "different", designed by a well-known coachbuilder of the period.
Auction estimate: €20 000 / 30 000 no reserve
