SUMMARY
A charming and well sorted example of FIAT’s lively 128 3P fastback, restored and maintained by a professional mechanic and showing just 59,500 miles.
DESCRIPTION
- FIAT’s 128 range was produced from 1969 to 1985 and set new standards for front-wheel drive family cars, earning the title of European Car of the Year in 1970 and influencing later designs such as the Volkswagen Golf
- This 3P (3-porte) fastback variant combines practicality with sporting style, finished in an attractive period colour and fitted with a newly retrimmed interior featuring a Momo steering wheel and excellent headlining
- Powered by FIAT's 1,293cc four-cylinder engine with twin-choke Weber carburettor, paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox, delivering around 75bhp and rev-happy performance complemented by all-independent suspension and front disc brakes
- Fitted with new Revolution alloy wheels wrapped in Yokohama tyres, together with a new Weber carburettor, battery, radiator, front calipers, discs, pads, rear shoes and master cylinder, ensuring reliability and safety
- Restored and carefully maintained by a professional mechanic over the last five years, this example has covered just 59,500 miles and remains structurally solid with only minor bubbling to its otherwise good paintwork
- Supplied with an extensive history file documenting its recent works, this rare and attractive 128 3P represents a delightful opportunity to enjoy one of FIAT’s most characterful and engaging small cars
