Description
A wonderfully refreshed and extremely rare Italian RHD example of this Series II Scalino/ Stepfront 1300cc in its original colour of Pino Verde Green with a beautiful Brown cloth/ vinyl interior.
It was manufactured and first registered on 5th May 1969 in Bergamo, in Italy where it resided until we had it collected and brought over to UK recently.
The first owner a Snr Ettore Foresti born 15/ 12/ 1914 had the car until 21/ 11/ 1973, when he sold it to one of Snr Antonio Bellini’s companies. On the 15/ 03/ 1983 his daughter a Christina Bellini born in 18/ 06/ 1954 inherited the car, whom we have just purchased the car directly from.
Whilst she owned the car, she used it very little as often away in USA, then in 2016 she had it refreshed bodily & mechanically.
But again it has been unused since then, also when we collected it was from her storage, where it was being kept under its car cover in an underground garage.
Before using him on the roads here in UK we have had it waxoyled underneath by Custom Detailing in Rochford.
It has already been MOT’d although of course it is exempt, it has now been registered with a UK age related, registration number on “Historic” road tax exempt status.
There are a lot more detailed pictures of the car on our own website to view.
Now collected by his new owner in the New Year and in part exchange we took in a lovely cute 1971 Wolseley 1300 Mk II Automatic.
Which is now advertised on Car & Classic for sale.
