Fiat 508 Balilla, this car was restored in the 1980s/1990s and it wasn’t used since then, after the owner’s death. This is a 4-speed version + reverse gear with improved gearbox. The two-tone green bodywork with black mudguards is very sound and was always kept in the garage. It was preserved very well over time, of course the paint shows all the age-related patina with some signs, but this adds authenticity and a beautiful patina to the car. The collector’s feature is the originality of the engine: after almost 90 years, this car still has its original engine as shown in the FIAT tag, a true rarity! Mechanics were recently started after being checked and after cleaning the petrol and carburettor tubes, and it starts immediately. The electrical system is 12 volts, however, the radiator needs to be overhauled because there are some leaks, and brakes need to be restored although they move freely. All spare parts of this car are available at specialist dealers and we can provide a list of addresses. Interior was redone in the 1990s and has some tears that need to be repaired, as shown in photos. However, they can be used and springs are in good condition. The set of rubber mats is present and in good condition. The underbody and chassis reflect the history of the car, they are an old restoration but don’t require immediate work and any restorations are at the discretion of the new owner. Technical inspection was never done since the 1990s. The car will be delivered with a Report of Conformity carried out by a third party expert who certifies the truthfulness of the photos and description.
