2011 Fiat 500 Stirling Moss 722 Tribute

The Fiat 500 was produced by Fiat in Italy between 1957 and 1975. It was designed by Dante Giacosa and it captured the hearts and minds of the public throughout Europe, becoming the first genuine city car. The model has recently seen a successful re-launch and now offers funky modern styling with a classic twist. This 2011 Fiat 500 is a truly unique vehicle. The car is a tribute to Sir Stirling Moss' famous 1955 Mille Miglia victory in a Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR (722) and was created by a close friend of the motor racing legend. The car has been signed by Sir Stirling on the dash and headrests and sports his famous 722 number on the doors, bonnet and boot lid. Pictures in the history file show pictures of the great man sitting in the car and giving it his full blessing. The dash reads "1/1 2014. What a car!"The silver paint is presented in superb order and the luxurious red leather interior is unmarked, as one would expect from a car that has covered only 8,750 miles. The engine is a twin air turbo diesel and whilst very pokey indeed, it maintains excellent fuel efficiency, ideal for city driving. The service history and wallet are all present in the history file and the car has had 1 former lady keeper. Buyers should be aware that the number plate shown is not being sold with this lot but is available buy seperate negotiation. The car was last serviced 1,000 miles ago and is ready to be driven and enjoyed. We can think of few greater tributes to Sir Stirling and his iconic 1955 Mille Miglia victory.
