Fiat 508 500 BALILLA FUORISERIE GARAVINI TRASFORMABILE PARTIAL PX POSSIBLE

The car was registered in Viterbo in July 1934 and it is an original FUORISERIE GARAVINI TRASFORMABILE made in Torino in the chassis of Fiat Balilla by GARAVINI that at that time used to make luxury transformation of FIAT car.
It is a very rare car as there are left just 20 in Italy according to the Balilla official motor registry.
I have purchased the car in 2005 from previous owner that has kept the car in his family for most of its life and since then the following works has been done:
- 2010 replaced the full brake system. including hoses. pumps. cylinders. brake shoes; the clutch has been changed as well.
- 2011 the engine has been rebuilt by formal previous owner in 2000 but as the engine was overheating I have replaced the head (there was a little rack) and head gaskets with a good new head taken from a donour vehicle. Now car fully performing and driving it very well.
- 2012 the original carburetor Zama was replaced with a carburetor in bronze following the advice of a specialist in Balilla engines and the efficiency of the engine has improved tremendously. The new carburetor was found new in a warehouse and build up to be fitted in sport cars in the 1930's.
- 2013 I have added the fuel filter. replaced the fuel cock and speedometer and odometer rope. I repainted the body rear fenders replacing the ugly lights that had mounted. with the right vintage lights much more beautiful and more suitable.
- 2014 We repainted the rear fenders we have noticed that are numbered so original. I added the dim lamps labeled FIAT that is mounted above the license plate. the boss on the spare wheel and I mounted the front and rear bumpers not present at purchase.
- 2015. The front grille was ricromed with galvanic copper plating process. Full electrical system rechecked and rebuilt and fully working. The four shock absorbers have been replaced with original reconditioned ones.
Please also note
- The front license plate is in aluminum. which still retains as its original. Please note a very rare badge of the Royal Automobile Club Italian (RACI).
- the badge FIAT and BALILLA on the radiator grille are perfect.
- The whole mechanism of the soft top is still his original and fully working
- The car frame has no welding and no defects.
- The seats have been re-upholstered in sky leather and in excellent conditions. I have also another pair of front seats that were made with iron tubes and I will include them in the sale.
- The car is equipped with new rubber mats that has never been used.

Basically the car is not perfect but it is not in any need of a restoration as a lot of time and money has been spent by previous owner and myself in the last 10 years.

The car has original documents and I have also some more documentation that i will give to new owner. Car is located in fano (Italy) and any kinf of inspection is more than welcome. if you have any serious interest call 07949014239.
