Beschreibung
A nice example of a rear engined Italian coupe in well presented and usable condition.
The Fiat 850 was first introduced in 1964 and was an evolution of the 600. The coupe body style became available in 1965 and was sold alongside the saloon, spider and van models. This is an early series 1 coupe and was manufactured in August 1967. It therefore features the 847cc engine with twin barrel Weber carburettor and has the earlier body shape with its smoother lines, single pair of headlights and tail lights, no bumper overriders and a more generous amount of stainless steel window trim, as well as numerous other small details.
This car was imported from Italy in 2017, where it had sat unused for some time but was well preserved due to the warmer climate. It is left-hand drive. Since being in the UK it has undergone light restoration to bring it back into smooth running and tidy condition, whilst still retaining a lot of its originality. This includes new tyres, respray, new carpets, cleaned fuel tank, new fuel hoses, and full service with all new fluids and filters. It passed an MOT with no advisories in August 2017 and is now MOT and tax exempt. It has 48700km (30000 miles) on the clock and comes with the original spare wheel and tool kit, the current V5c as well as the original Italian log book, 2 sets of keys and manual.
This is a lovely classic and is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
