SUMMARY
Offered without reserve, this is one of only nine 1600S Cabriolets in right-hand drive and is fresh from 30-years long-term storage.
DESCRIPTION
- Combining Pininfarina styling with the Maserati brother's 1600S twin-cam engine, this FIAT-OSCA cabriolet was the pinnacle of the model series at the time
- Originally supplied to Hong Kong, imported to the UK in 1970 and had covered only 17,000 miles at that point
- Acquired by our vendors uncle in 1992, this rarity was only used for around 12 months before being placed in storage
- The 31,371 miles displayed may well be accurate, given the MOT history and other corroborating paperwork
- It appears to be in good, solid condition however it has suffered bodily with its paintwork now showing signs of age
- The interior, although very dusty, is in fine fettle and does appear to be mostly complete. Ripe for restoration or recommissioning, the engine is said to turn over, though our vendor has wisely not attempted to start it after 30 years of storage
- Retaining its interesting plate WSK 199, this superb opportunity is offered without reserve
