Highlights
- Highly presented example from Southern Italy
- Very original ‘Time Capsule’ car
- Currently based in Denmark
The Appeal
Built by the esteemed Italian Brand between 1971 and 1977, the 2000 Berlina was the more powerful of the 105 series. An evocative, stylish retro saloon, packed with character, these are a perfect embodiment of the brand’s dedication to style.
This example, originally based in Southern Italy, comes to us in rare condition. The car has clearly been cossetted, with so much of its heritage character still comfortably intact. As a result, we’d be bold enough to say it’s one of the best Berlinas we’ve seen.
