Franco Vigorito

HIGHLIGHTS
- Five-digit, Turin number plates.
- Sought-after, 1933 version.
- Only one owner in the last 20 years.
- It belonged to a private museum.
- Papers in order, from a transfer of ownership or export.

HISTORY/OVERVIEW
This Fiat 508 Balilla from 1933 is the first series with its characteristic flat grill. 
The first series is the most sought-after among the regular Fiat 508 due to its particular details, such as the grill and the gearstick. They are a popular choice for events and weddings, decorative purposes in farmhouses, and vintage car gatherings and events.

EXTERIOR
The bodywork is in its original reddish-purple colour and in excellent original condition.
A polishing and detailing treatment was recently performed. A coating thickness gauge test revealed no significant defects. 

The chassis is sound and original. It was restored in the past and requires no interventions before use. The latest technical inspection did not point out any defects, and the car has always been preserved in a private area since.

INTERIOR
The interior features herringbone-patterned beige fabric and is in good condition. Although there are some rings on it, it is good-looking. The seats are comfortable.

MECHANICS
Mechanically, the car starts immediately and can travel short distances. However, the last technical inspection expired in 2011 because the car was in a private museum and did not travel in recent years. We suggest regular maintenance work before using it on public roads.

DOCUMENTATION
The included papers are in order, from a transfer of ownership.

-----------------------

Some videos of the car and its engine are available upon request to Catawiki.

A high-resolution photo gallery is also available and is part of this description on the seller's website.

The seller can arrange the transfer of ownership or export documents remotely, with affordable shipping to Italy, Europe and the rest of the world. 
You can also collect the car in person without a hurry, as the vehicle can be stored at our premises for up to 15 days for free.

We recommend viewing the vehicle before the end of the auction, even via a video call on your smartphone (WhatsApp, FaceTime). Please, send a message to Catawiki for an appointment. The seller reserves the right to claim compensation if the buyer does not pay for the purchase, which is automatically concluded after the winning bid is established and obliges the buyer to make the payment, as per the sales contract available on the seller’s website.
