Description

I bought the car a year ago, but now want to sell it again because we have bought a house.

The engine was completely overhauled around 3 years ago (new bushings, bearing shells, etc.), and the cylinder head was overhauled a few weeks ago (new valves).

The 4-speed gearbox is original, as is the 42 cm Nardi steering wheel.

When the Maserati brothers' racing team went bankrupt in 1937, Adolfo Orsi took over the company. He contractually obliged the 3 brothers to remain with Maserati for at least 10 years. After these 10 years, the brothers founded a sports car manufacturer again in 1947: O.S.C.A. (Officine Specializzata Costruzioni Automobili) in Bologna.

Legendary sports cars and engines were produced there, such as the MT4 and the 1492 cc engine.

At the same time, Fiat, which was marketing the 1500 Coupé with a relatively weak 50 hp, was looking for a more powerful 1500 cc engine.

This brought Fiat and OSCA together, and Fiat began building and using OSCA engines under licence for the 1500 Cabriolet and Coupé. This engine is based on the racing technology of the Maserati brothers.

The special thing is that this vehicle is not just a Fiat 1500 with an OSCA engine, but the rare coupé version of this car. The cabriolet was built much more frequently, and only cabriolets ordered specifically were converted into coupés.

All in all, this is a beautiful, honest car, with honest blemishes in the bodywork, but largely rust-free and with an overhauled engine.

The car is located in Vienna, Austria, and can be viewed at any time.
