Description
Fiat 130 Coupe designed by Paolo Martin of Pininfarina.
This elegant 1970's design features are evident both inside and out.
The engine block is designed by an Aurelio Lampredi of Ferrrari fame. It is a 3200cc V6 engine, weber carb, with a ZF 5 speed Manual 'dog leg' gearbox. A limited slip differential with independent rear suspension derived from the 'Dino' for better, sportier roadholding.
This car is original. It comes with factory original air conditioning unit, radio and 'black and white' original keys and spare key. The original Italian manual also comes with an English version.
The history file shows three Italian owners, it was in a collection in Padova having done 60000 kms in 1997. The car was imported to a collector in the UK on 62000 in 2015 all duties and UK registration done. Today, refreshed 64000 kms it has only done 4000 kms in 27 years that's 2500 miles!
The car is well sorted with Engine, Gearbox and Ltd slip diff oils all replaced. The brakes servo and fluids have been changed, The carburettor overhauled, the electrics, new coil, spark plugs and HT leads fitted for smooth running. All electrics windows, aerial, interior, bonnet, boot lights and headlights are working. The solid rust free chassis has been weatherproofed and 'Lanoguarded'
The body work is very good, a couple of small bubbles on an the wheel arch, a crack on rear indicator lens. The wheel centres have been re enamled to original black and chrome. The car has been checked and has no accident damage.
Carpets and upholstery are original as is dash, dials all working. The car is a design classic, subtle lines curves and sharp edges apparent in the photographs. The rear lights have 2 bulbs for each indicators, brakes very elegant. Headlamps are the largest one piece design in the 70's and 80's.. It has integral rear seat sun blinds. Chrome lever by the steering wheel allows the driver to remotely open the passenger door!
The interior colour is magnificent, the upholstery and orange carpets are magnificent. Pininfarina detailing , speakers, handles, steering wheel and radio along with the pleated ceiling make it really special interior.
The car is running well , unfortunatley selling due to illness, just needs a couple of cosmetic touches to finish off lovely 'Original Fiat 130 Coupe'
