Fiat 520 Tourer

The Fiat 520 was the Italian maker's upmarket six-cylinder car of the late 1920s, and this 1928 Tourer carries the 2.2-litre engine in a light open body. The dealer positions it against contemporary Rolls-Royce 20hp cars, which gives a sense of the class Fiat was aiming at.

It has been fully restored in Germany and has covered few miles since. The engine has been rebuilt and fitted with a correct carburettor. The paint is primrose yellow over tobacco brown. Inside are new cream fluted upholstery and beige carpets, and there is a new black canvas hood with a matching hood bag.

New tyres are fitted on artillery-style wheels, including the two side-mounted spares, and a strap-on motoring trunk is included. It is on a German registration with the green Fahrzeugbrief, so EEC taxes are paid for European buyers. The car is currently in the Dordogne, France. The chassis number is 216875.
