Description

This classic car is for sale on Catawiki. To have more information or to place a bid click on the "BID NOW" button. .PTV 250 from 1959 in good condition.

The beautiful PTV microcars were manufactured between 1956 and 1961 by the company AUSA in Manresa, very close to Barcelona. Hand-assembled, only 1,100 cars were built, and currently few have been preserved in running condition.

According to the experts, this is one of the microcars with a more elegant and attractive design, and they rarely go on sale.

The owner of this car has had it for about 10 years. This is an old restoration, so it currently has a nice patina with all the flavour of authenticity.

The car is equipped with electronic ignition and starter, but the original replaced parts are still available (Dynastar and Tachó carburettor). The car comes also with its original windows (see photos).
