Fiat 600 Multipla Series 1 Classic / 1956 / LHD / With Low Italian Owners / Fully & Expertly Restored - Unique Investment Opportunity!
We are truly privileged to offer to the market this fully restored & highly desirable Fiat 600 Multipla Series 1 model, which are now incredibly scarce & the collector’s favourite. (Not the more available later Series 2). It’s a genuine LHD Italian black plate 1956 example first registered in Matera on 10th March, in the Basilicata region of Southern Italy. It has a freshly rebuilt engine & gear box & has a nominal mileage of less than 500 shake down KM’s since the full & comprehensive restoration, with the total recorded mileage from new being 68,207 KM.
This stunning & unrepeatable example underwent a full photographic bare shell restoration in 2016/17 by a Fiat Club Italia oficonardo, whom once completed used the vehicle to attend local classic shows, but decided that this completed vehicle in light of rising prices for Series 1 examples was far too valuable to use on a regular basis. We spotted this desirable example at the first car show he attended in Vercelli, Northern Italy a truly beautiful location. We left our details & interest in its purchase. The proud owner (Mario) called back a few months later & a sensible deal was eventually brokered. We were eager to obtain this Multipla due to it being the best example bar none that we had ever seen or driven, too often people use the term ‘nut & bolt’ restoration, but this is the real thing – I don’t believe there can be a better example available for the price requested.
The vehicle was then expertly sanded & blocked to achieve the best panel fit & better than factory standards of finish. The body was then fully primed & blocked again before being reprimed. Finally the vehicle was painted inside & outside in the original colours but in a modern paint system & oven baked. This was a real labour of love, with no expense spared & shows in the final finish. Whilst the motor & gear box were out, they were fully & expertly rebuilt. The suspension & running gear, electrical, mechanical, rubbers & seals etc. were all rebuilt or replaced if required & the vehicle was then fitted back up. The exterior bright work was all rechromed & several hard to find pieces of trim were gathered to complete the works. A new original spec floor mat set was fitted, but the original interior was refitted as the owner could not locate the factory correct seat covers & door cards.
