This 1965 Fiat 1300S coupe was part of a small production run by the Italian coachbuilder Vignale that was based on the contemporary Fiat 1300 Berlina sedan. Power is from a 1,295L inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission, and the body is finished in metallic green over a red interior with a Nardi steering wheel, power-operated front windows, and a push-button radio. The car is said to have first been sold in Italy and spent a year in a Greek collection in before being acquired by the seller five years ago. Subsequent service included replacement of the crankshaft seal, thermostat, contact pins, and brake lines in 2016 as well as front brake caliper rebuilds in 2020.
The two-door coupe was styled by Giovanni Michelotti, and this example was repainted in its current metallic green under previous ownership aLording to the seller. Four headlights and an eggcrate grill surround the Fiat badge at the front, while the sloping roofline leads to a Kamm tail housing four round red and amber tail lights.
Cromodora 13″ alloy wheels with chrome Fiat center caps are mounted with older 185/70 BFGoodrich tires. A full-sized steel spare is located in the trunk. The brake lines at all four corners are said to have been replaced in 2016, and the front calipers were rebuilt in February 2020.
The cabin features red vinyl seat upholstery, black carpets, and a wood-trimmed dash. Amenities include power front windows, front and rear vent windows, and a radio with station preset buttons. The front backrests fold at an angle to ease entry to the rear seats. The seller notes that the lever to open the fuel cap that should be situated by the driver’s seat is missing; the cable to open it reportedly works from the trunk.
A wood-rimmed Nardi steering wheel frames a 180-km/h bar-style speedometer and a row of light-up indicators in lieu of a tachometer. The five-digit odometer shows 23k kilometers (~14k miles), approximately 350 kilometers of which have been added by the seller. Total distance traveled is unknown.
The 1,295L inline-four used in the 1300s featured modifications by Giannini to its cylinder head, camshaft, carburetor, air filter, and exhaust system aLording to the seller. Output was reportedly 66 horsepower when new. The crankshaft seal, thermostat, and contact pins are said to have been replaced in 2016.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed column-shifted manual transmission.
