The vehicle being auctioned I have owned for about 28 years. During that time frame it has been the subject of an ongoing amateur restoration. Some of the reasons I bought it are it looked to be very original and complete, no rust or accident damage. Also in running condition. I repainted it about 24 years ago. The color is a good match to the original color. The dashboard was not repainted and so you can judge for yourself regarding the color match. I want to be clear about the term amateur restoration. The paint has several flaws, as well as chips and scratches. In my opinion, it still looks good from 10 - 15 feet. I never intended to make a show car out of this little Fiat; just a driver which is what I consider it. All four tires are in very good condition with low mileage. The wooden shift knob is apparently original but I have yet to see another Vignale with a similiar one. The hucaps are spun aluminum which I also have not seen on other models. The convertible top is in good condition and has the original side curtains. The two front bumpers have been re-chromed and also the speedometer bezel. The rear bumper has not been re-chromed and has some pitting. The speedometer is calibrated in kilometers. Odometer shows approximately 50,300 km. The engine and transaxle are in good running condition It has an "Abarth-style" exhaust which I installed myself. The seats are original; drivers seat has two small holes in the backrest. I added carpeting and insulating material some years ago. The original rubber matting is available; usable only for a pattern if desired. The windshield wipers are non-functional at this time. The linkage will need some adjustment, the motor is still good. There is no horn. Headlights and stoplights are working and the turn indicators. Battery charging light, oil pressure light and fuel indicator are working. Included with the vehicle are: original jack, 4-way lug wrench, incomplete tool kit and spare tire (not original).
