The seller offers for sale a Fiat 127 1300 Rally from 1977, powered by a 1.3 liter four-cylinder petrol engine combined with a manual gearbox. This car is based on a Fiat 127 1050 CL and was upgraded around 25 years ago with a Fiat 1300 Sport engine and 5-speed transmission originating from a Fiat Rally donor car. After a long period of storage, the current owner acquired the vehicle and carried out restoration and mechanical recommissioning work. The engine was removed for inspection, fitted with a sharper camshaft, and received new gaskets, timing components, clutch parts, and fresh fluids. The engine runs well and the gearbox shifts smoothly. The car features a welded-in roll cage, widened rear wheels, rally-style lighting, Land Rover rear lights, bucket seats from a Simca Rally, and a rally-inspired exterior finish in yellow industrial paint with decals and a wrapped roof. Minor rust spots are present underneath the car.
The Fiat 127 was one of Fiat’s most successful compact models and played a major role in shaping small car design in Europe during the 1970s. Praised for its light weight, efficient use of space, and lively driving characteristics, it became a popular base for motorsport-inspired builds. Rally-style conversions like this one highlight the model’s adaptability and mechanical simplicity. Today, the Fiat 127 is increasingly appreciated by enthusiasts for its character, agility, and strong link to grassroots rally culture, making versions with period-inspired modifications particularly appealing.
