Description

Extremely rare—possibly unique:  this Balilla Sport was first registered in Berlin in 1936 and comes from its 2nd owner!

History: according to the very elderly owner, the car was used in many motor races between 1936 and 1939—including on the AVUS! Hidden and walled in during the war, the car was unearthed and made roadworthy again in 1952. As the owner and the car's location were in East Berlin, the beautiful FIAT was registered with an East German vehicle registration document, but was driven very little thereafter.

In 1977, the sports car was taken over the "Wall" to West Berlin on the occasion of the owner's relocation and then taken off the road. Since then, the rare FIAT had been stored in a Berlin villa garage 2024 to 2025, the car underwent extensive but careful restoration, with the aim of preserving the special history of this unique vehicle.

Conclusion: an absolutely worthwhile proposition with the prospect of participating in top-class historic competitions such as the MilleMiglia, Gran Premio Nuvolari or Ennstal Classic!
