1974 FIAT 128 SEDAN

KEY FACTS

• A smart and practical Italian four-door sedan, with low mileage for its age.

• It is powered by the 1.1-litre SOHC inline-four, producing around 55hp, driving the front wheels through the four-speed manual gearbox.

• It has benefited from a recent service and inspection.

EQUIPMENT AND FEATURES

• The 128 was one of the first truly popular front-engine, front-wheel drive vehicles, enabling a far more spacious interior for passengers and luggage.

• It featured rack-and-pinion steering, front disc brakes, independent rear suspension with a transverse leaf spring and a strut-type front suspension with an integral anti-roll bar.

• This example was finished with grey paintwork and two-tone black and grey leatherette upholstery.

• Its original owner’s manuals and service book will be included.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage, and the vendor notes that the car appears to be free of corrosion.

• Its resprayed grey paintwork is in excellent condition, with just some small marks to the side of the left headlamp.

• Inside, the two-tone leatherette upholstery is believed to be original, presenting with a few small tears and some age-related creasing, though with some prominent staining on the rear bench.

• Some surface wear can be seen on the dashboard plastics and door card inserts.

• All of the switchgear works as it should.

SERVICE HISTORY

• The car was last serviced in May 2021, also benefiting from the recent fitment of a new battery, distributor, and spark plugs.
