The body is generally solid, with some signs of aging and minimal localized corrosion typical of a preserved vehicle. The paint was redone a few years ago and a polishing and detailing treatment has just been completed. The color is the original Fiat White 233.
The chrome fittings are generally in good condition with a normal patina of time in line with the rest of the car.
A test with a thickness gauge did not reveal any significant collision traces.
INTERIOR
The interior is original Bordeaux Red and shows some general signs of wear, yet remains complete and usable. The door panels and rear seats are well preserved, though the driver's seat has some tears. The dashboard retains all instruments complete and original, including the standard steering wheel. The soft top has no tears, opens and closes smoothly, and provides good watertightness.
MECHANICS
Mechanically the car is fitted with the 126A.000 A suffix 595cc engine and was recently restarted after a long period of inactivity. The vehicle is running and can be driven on private roads.

Disclaimer
Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
