The seller offers for sale this 1973 Fiat 128 Sport Coupé 1100 L, a rare single-owner example showing just over 50,000 km and registered as a historic vehicle. Always garage-kept and used only for occasional outings, this lightweight coupe has been preserved with exceptional care. The body has undergone a professional restoration with new paint and aligned panels, resulting in an exterior finish that presents well. The interior remains tidy and original, with only light wear to the upholstery. Mechanically, the Fiat is in good running order, starting without hesitation and producing no blue or white smoke when warm. The 1.1-liter SOHC engine—famous for helping the Fiat 128 win European Car of the Year, runs cleanly with no unusual noises, and the manual gearbox shifts smoothly. Lights and indicators function, and the car has a valid technical inspection. As a long-preserved and pampered classic, it is an attractive choice for collectors seeking an authentic and lively Italian coupe.
The Fiat 128 Sport Coupe is admired as one of the most characterful compact sports models of the 1970s. Built on the innovative front-wheel-drive platform of the Fiat 128, it offered agile handling, light weight and an energetic SOHC engine that made it surprisingly engaging on twisty roads. Its sharp lines, distinctive fastback silhouette and sporty interior helped the Sport Coupé stand apart from more conservative European compacts. The 1100 L variant balanced affordability with spirited performance, making it a popular choice among young drivers of the era. Today, enthusiasts value the car for its playful driving experience, simple mechanics and increasing rarity—especially well-preserved examples with known history. This 1973 car, with its single ownership, restored body and excellent originality, represents an appealing opportunity for those seeking a classic Italian coupé with personality and authenticity.
