I have a time zone problem with Autopuzzles, most are answered before I get up in the morning.
1935 Fiat Balilla 508S Coppa d’Oro. The puzzle car was one of four dozen or so imported into England in that year although this particular car was not actually sold until 1937. It was maintained in perfect condition and used in rallies by the first owner who subsequently sold it in 1962 to a Mr. W. Hodge and he, in fact, sold it two years later in 1964 when it became the property of Lord Montagu.
The car was on display in the Museum until it was sold by Christie's on 19 February 1996.
Original with red paintwork and red interior trim it has a four-speed gearbox and overhead valve four-cylinder engine. The body is original to the car, being a period imitation of the Italian Coppa d'Oro design, made by an unknown London coachbuilder to the order of Fiat (England) Limited.
