Year of Manufacture: 1970
Date First Registered: 01/09/2018
Current V5: YES
Location: PICKERING
You can view from: Wednesday 1 October 2025 - Tuesday 7 October 2025
Current V5 present. Paperwork includes printed information about the vehicle, a Number Plate Authorisation Certificate, an Application to register a vehicle showing VIN, a Vehicle Dating letter from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, a NOVA Acknowledgment, previous V5s, an MOT certificate, a printed DVLA check, previous insurance documents, and invoices.
The vendor has provided the following:
- Imported into the UK in May 2014, and believed to be at some point a Police Panda Car in Italy
- Was manufactured in Te Fiat Mirafiori Plant, Turin, Italy, in December 1970
- 2 former UK owners
- Being 55 years old is Tax and MOT exempt, along with Classic car Insurance of only £80 per year, which offers great value for town driving and ownership
- After being MOTd in June 2018, the car was then subject to a full body/running gear restoration. The body was fixed to a rotisserie so that any rot or rust could be cut out and fresh new panels/metalwork could be rewelded back in. Then full windows out professionally resprayed and completed
- A USB stick holds many photos of the restoration in process and comes with the car
- Restoration was completed in 2020, and the car has had very little use since. Loss of long-term storage has forced a very reluctant sale
- The car has not been used in approximately 10-12 months, so it will require a quick run through the workshop before driving in anger
- Has had a newly refurbished Weber Carb fitted, which may benefit from some fine-tuning to get the engine performing at its best from cold
- A4 binder full of receipts of the restoration and other expenditures comes with the car
- Prepare to be stopped and have photos taken wherever you drive
- The car did fire up and started on the first flick of the key; however had a slight petrol leak, so I have just swapped the carburettor out for a new fully reconditioned vapor-blasted Weber item. This might need a little fine-tuning and choke readjustment to make cold starting perfect
