1929 Fiat 514 L, I believe it's the same one on the Wiki article.

It is a Fiat 514 and it looks like the same car. Locked for you to name the coachbuilder.

1929 was incorrect. 1931.

Fiat 514 Turin Grand Luxe sedan type Kelsch, with 4-speed gearbox and 2 spare wheels, in concours condition.

Found in June 1996 in a forge, it was used in the film “Blanche et Marie”, which was shot in Angoulême. A headlamp fell on the roof of the car and the front was quite damaged.

Bodywork and paintwork redone in 1998. The roof was restored by a carpenter.
The interior fabric and seats were done by a saddler, the bodywork by a car painter.

Overhauled engine, replaced stainless steel exhaust. Michelin tires in very good condition.

Standard registration. The revision expires on 18.11.2021. This vehicle can be viewed in Merignac 16200 (Charente), France.
