Description

This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .This Autobianchi Fiat 500 Giardiniera was delivered new in Italy and comes in the ‘Blu Oriente’ 498 colour with ivory-coloured interior.

It is an old restoration but still in reasonable condition, it features its original engine as in the registration document and has recently received a lot of work on the bodywork and mechanics to get it up and running again after a few years of not being used, including:

1. Midnight blue carpet kit;
2. New knee guards;
3. New pair of new chrome deflectors;
4. Some new seals, including those of the doors;
5. New set of tyres;
6. General tuning;
7. Overhauled brakes;
8. New battery.

Inspection was passed and is valid until May 2023. However, this is a direct purchase from the previous owner and some maintenance may be needed in the near future.

The bodywork is sound, however the paintwork has signs of age, and there are some scratches and imperfections for normal use. The feeler gauge test showed no major incidents (as shown in photos).

The compression test gave good results about the engine (as shown in photos).

The soft top opens and closes smoothly, it was recently replaced and keeps out rain.

The front and rear seats and panels were reupholstered by the previous owner in 2020 and are still in excellent condition with no tears or damage.

It is equipped with a jack, tool kit, spare wheel and warning triangle.

This vehicle can be used for the summer season, it starts immediately and is easy to drive.

Some videos of the car, of its use and engine are available: please contact Catawiki.
