1976 Fiat 133

Extremely rare UK market variant of the proven Seat 133, believed 1 of 3 remaining and in wonderful restored order

An exceedingly rare car in the UK, (1 of just 3 believed left registered) this lovely little Fiat 133 as they were known in the UK, a Seat 133 through much of mainland Europe, is powered by an 843cc rear mounted inline four cylinder four-stroke motor which developed 34bhp, an engine previously used in the Fiat/Seat 850 model, but here with a more contemporary (at the time) body shape akin to the Fiat 126, although somewhat larger.

This smart 1976 Moss green example was restored by its previous owner, although sadly there is no documentation confirming the extent of the work, although clearly, from looking over the car, much has been done as it looks akin to a new 133!

Showing just 30,000 miles, its impossible to say if this is accurate, but its nice to have on the odometer! The interior features black vinyl seating with rubber flooring, all very minimalist and all the better for it, offering great visibility and a feeling of connectedness rarely found with heavily insulated modern cars.

Starting promptly and running well as we moved it around for these shots and video it was a delight. The history file includes the V5C and current MOT, although exempt valid until July 2021 with two minor advisories for wear to a king pin and slight exhaust blow.

Ready to be enjoyed, this rare little car will leave many guessing at the various classic car events its likely to attend through the summer season.
