Beschreibung
Just imported from the USA, this beautiful 1966 Fiat 1500 was part of the collection of Najeeb Khan, who had amassed an eclectic collection of over 240 cars, which was sold in 2020 by RM Sotheby's for the benefit of the state, following his conviction for tax fraud (photos of the sale in the file below). This is the very last and most accomplished K version from 1966, equipped with a synchronized 5-speed gearbox, 75 hp engine, S dashboard with rev counter and 4 disc brakes.
The car has been restored to an excellent mechanical condition, with a superb interior and a solid, corrosion-free chassis. Only the paintwork is in average condition, more than likely due to poor preparation at the time. While it's a shame that the paintwork isn't up to par with the rest of the car, it doesn't mean it has to be redone.
