1973 FIAT 124 Sport Coupe

The car is being sold as part of a large private collection. It has been on static display as a museum exhibit for a number of years so, consequently, our assessment of it is made purely on the grounds of its appearance. 

It will require recommissioning and is sold strictly as seen. The only history or paperwork available is displayed in the photo gallery.  In most cases the papers shown are photocopies, unless otherwise stated. 

The cars, while located in Greece, may be subject to your local rate of import VAT.

Please contact freddie.woodd@bonhams.com should you have further questions.

We understand that this car was delivered new to its first owner in Milan in August 1973.  

It has the desirable combination of the larger 1800cc engine mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox.

It appears to be in very reasonable, unrestored, original condition, with only a few cosmetic issues to address in a few places. 

The stylish and understated lines of this car are not compromised by any dinks, dents or creases that we can see, and the blue paintwork has survived the passage of time with commendable stoicism - although there are some issues to consider.

There is some foxing and pitting on the chrome-work on the front and rear bumpers, plus a little of what appears to be surface rust on the trim around the front grille.

We can see a fairly standard number and distribution of stone chips, scuffs and scratches dotted around the car in the usual places.

There is bubbling under the paint on the wheels.

The lights, lenses, badging and other exterior fixtures and fittings look to be intact and in reasonable condition. 

The interior is rather grimy and scruffy but is, we think, intact and therefore amenable to refurbishment.

The grey velour fabric on the seats, front and rear, appears to be free of any notable rips or tears but is rather baggy.

The dashboard and door cards look to have avoided cracking or fading. We can see some splits to the gear lever gaiter.

The capacious boot seems to be in decent order.

Having neither started nor driven the car, we can’t vouch for the efficacy of any controls, switches, gauges, dials or other mechanical or electrical systems and components.

The engine bay is rather grubby but everything appears to be present, correct, and in its right and proper place.

The car comes with copies of some Greek documents, a hand-written note describing its early provenance, and a small selection of photographs.  

This seems to us to be a highly original and authentic example of a rare and very stylish 124 Sport Coupé.

That it comes with the 1800cc engine and 5-speed gearbox is a welcome and attractive bonus.

We are happy to offer this car for auction with an estimate in the range of €6,000 - €9,000.
