The Attractions
With almost four million examples of the Fiat 500 produced over a period of eighteen years, collectors are always on the lookout for the rarest variants, and this 1965 Fiat 500 F Giannini TV 'eight-bolt' is a particularly sought-after model.
Built only between March and November 1965, the coveted 'eight-bolt' cars owe their name to the number of fastening bolts securing the front doors to the pillar. Furthermore, this example is a very special Giannini Turismo Veloce (TV) model that is highly sought after by enthusiasts. This rare car is in fantastic condition, with only one previous registered owner. We are assured that the sheet metal is completely original, with no signs of accidents or repairs, and apparently needs no work. The interior is equally well-preserved and we are informed that the mechanicals are in equally excellent condition.
For those looking for a classic Fiat 500 of a higher standard than the others, this is the ideal candidate.
