1938 | FIAT 500 Topolino

We are delighted to offer this truly exceptional, rare RHD home market Fiat Topolino onto the market. GPK 442 was first registered on the 13th of July 1938 and has spent its entire life in the U.K.

In 2017 the Fiat was sold through auction for £15,000 and between 2017 and 2022 its fastidious owner spent a staggering £20,000 on the car ensuring it was in truly first-class mechanical order.

Invoices from an Essex specialist are on file detailing an engine rebuild to include upgraded con rods, re-boring and fitting of oversized pistons, the block was machined to have modern crank bearings fitted replacing the white metal bearings, and modern front and rear main oil seals were also fitted. All parts were balanced ahead of assembly. The engine work was £7500 alone. The Fiat also had a re-conditioned gearbox fitted, new clutch, a new UJ type propshaft fitted and kingpins were replaced.

Minimal mileage has been covered since so the Fiat offers a wonderful opportunity for its next owner to have a superbly prepared, mechanically excellent car that has been treated with no expense spared. GPK 442 presents wonderfully with excellent bodywork, a lovely deep paint finish, loved aged upholstery an excellent hood. This is a real car of beauty and one for the discerning collector.
