Fiat - 1500 S Cabriolet OSCA - NO RESERVE - 1962

Fiat 1500 S Cabriolet OSCA (Pininfarina) - Red - Disassembled for restoration - Italian Documents HISTORY AND PRESENTATION (An exceptional historical rescue) Rare and fascinating example of a Fiat 1500 S Cabriolet, a style masterpiece signed by Pininfarina and equipped with the legendary twin-cam engine designed by OSCA of the Maserati brothers. This car carries an extraordinary history: after 1962, due to the events of the time, it had been re-registered for reconstruction as a simple 1200 cabriolet on a chassis from the 1500 Cabriolet with a 1200 engine and gearbox. However, a great enthusiast and connoisseur of the make immediately recognized the true identity of the bodyshell (the rare OSCA "S" version with the distinctive asymmetrical air intake on the hood). With meticulous research, he managed to locate and repurchase the correct OSCA twin-cam engine and the correct gearbox, saving this extremely rare piece of Italian automotive history. The owner began a passionate restoration in 2017, reinstalling the prestigious correct mechanicals on board. Unfortunately, he passed away before completing the work. The car has been stored indoors since 2018 and is presented today as a very important project for a complete restoration, with the phase of researching and recovering the engine and gearbox already completed successfully. CURRENT STATE OF THE VEHICLE (Completely dismantled for restoration) Bodywork and Monocoque The car is red in color and is currently fully dismantled, awaiting a complete body restoration (sheet metal, preparation, and painting). The monocoque is sound and represents a solid and excellent base for a top-level restoration. OSCA Mechanical The valuable OSCA twin-cam engine and its original mechanical gearbox have already been installed on the car in their mounts. During the first phase of the restoration (2017), the mechanics had been successfully restarted and the car was running (performance verified personally) before the definitive stop that occurred in 2018. Components, Interiors, and upholstery: The components of the car, the interior, and the upholstery are dismantled and included in the lot to be restored and reassembled, with many parts likely needing replacement. The interior upholstery was historically re-covered in simulated leather (Vipla/Sky) of the era in the iconic red and black two-tone combination, a beautiful testimony to the taste of the time. Double Mechanical Equipment Included Together with the car, the engine and the 1.2-liter gearbox (previously mounted on the car) are also delivered. An additional set of highly valuable spare parts for collection purposes. DOCUMENTATION AND HISTORICAL ACCOMPANIMENT The car is being sold with clear paperwork and significant value for historical traceability: Italian documents and registration plates Several historic booklets and accompanying documents included in the lot, fundamental for documenting the vehicle's history. Car viewable and collectible in Spello (Perugia)
