DESCRIPTION AND HISTORY
The car for sale was built in Italy in 1933 and it is in very good condition, both mechanical part and the bodywork. Last year there has been regular maintenance work done and this Balilla is ready to go!
From Wikipedia:The
508 Balilla
was a compact car designed and developed by Fiat in 1932. It is effectively the replacement of the Fiat 509, although production of the earlier model had ceased back in 1929. It had a three-speed transmission (increased to four in 1934), seated four, and had a top speed of about 50 mph (80 km/h). It sold for 10, 800 lire (or 8, 300 2005 euro). About 113, 000 were produced.
The first 508A, introduced in 1932, was a 2-door Berlina (saloon/sedan) with four seats and a three speed crash gearbox. The front seats could be slid forwards and the backrests tilted in order to facilitate access to the back seat in what was a relatively small car. Unusually, the windows in the doors could be wound down by turning a crank handle fitted to the door, while the windscreen was hinged at the top and could be opened, while two windscreen wipers were powered by their own electric motor, positioned inside just above the windscreen. The interior used rubber mats while the seats were cloth covered. Accessories offered included a dash-mounted rear-view mirror, an interior light mounted on the centre of the roof and an externally mounted luggage platform at the back which, when specified, came with the spare wheel repositioned to a mounting point on the side of the car between the left-side door and the front wing. A Lusso (de Luxe) version also featured a better type of cloth covering for the seats as well as extra bright work around the lights, front grille, wheels and door handles.
With the 508B, introduced early in 1934, the body was described as more aerodynamic although from the perspective of later developments in car styling, the 508B still followed the rather boxy lines associated with cheap cars from the early 1930s. The gear box was upgraded, now offering four forward speeds, and while the a 2-door Berlina remained on offer for a few more months, a 4-door Berlina was now added. In June of the same year the 2-door Berlina was delisted for Italy and there was a further face-lift for the 4-door bodied car, which now received a modified front grille and a windscreen, previously vertical, that was slightly raked, hinting at the more wholesale styling changes that would accompany the appearance in 1937 of the 508C version of the car. Standard and Lusso versions of the 4-door Berlina were both offered.
The car is a rare piece and the conditions for this kind of car that is almost 83 years old are fabulous. No problem of body and
no sign of rust
. The engine is fully functional and the tires are in good condition
The car is working perfectly and drive it on the streets is a fun indescribable.
The car is registered to ASI Gold Italian Register of Vintage car since 2009. Membership is guaranteed for original spare parts to 100% in the various renovations.
