VERY RARE FIAT 1500 OSCA CABRIOLET 1960

REGULARLY REGISTERED IN GERMANY Brand: FIAT Model: 1500 OSCA Cabriolet Year: 1960 Chassis: 118S.005306 Engine: 118.00.001366 – 55 kW / 75 hp (1491 cc) Mileage indicated: 44,000 km Certification: FIVA Interior: Red-Black Leather Exterior: Red Soft-top: Black Accessories: Hard Top, Leather Seats, Battery Cut-Off Switch, Depth Headlamps Notes: Rare FIAT 1500 OSCA Cabriolet 1960 This splendid and rare Italian-built car was first registered in Germany (Köln) in 2008 and was for many years owned by a collector who used it in numerous historic car events in Italy — including at least 6 editions of the Gran Premio Nuvolari. In 2022 it passed into new ownership in Germany (Langen), where it remains registered. Recently it has undergone extensive mechanical re-finement, among the main works: cylinder-head gasket renewed, valve adjustment, gearbox and front & rear seals replaced, drive-shaft universal joint upgraded, electric fuel pump installed, water pipe welded, brake drums resurfaced, dashboard covered in wood veneer. In addition to the black Sonnenland fabric soft-top, it is also equipped with the very rare original hard-top. Being currently German-registered with valid TÜV, ownership transfer is straightforward to a German collector. It is accompanied by a GTÜ appraisal (level 2) and in 2010 obtained FIVA certification in category A3. This rare car features Italian style at its best: Italian coach-built elegance, sporting heritage via the OSCA twin-cam engine, and full provenance documentation. A perfect opportunity for the serious collector of Italian classics.
