Wow, the original owner really was a fanatic about keeping that Berlina in great shape. Only 55kM on the clock?-geeze, I guess that's why it looks brand new! I take it the car is all original and stock (paint, engine, etc.)?

Really sweet car-great year, amazing condition!

Lookin' good, JaB!!

But what's with the steering wheel on the wrong side?

Love that color. My first Berlina was metallic olive, but nowhere near this nice. Nice car.

for some reason the Berlina is really undervalued as a car here in europe so you can get good ones for ( figuratively speaking) pennies.
It seems to me that Italians either treat their cars like babies or they really don't give a sh!t nothing in between.
The only issue is a very small amount of blistering to the bottom corner of the rear door on the side shown in the picture, this is also being rectified before I take delivery.

@Hotcams,
Apart from the wrong profile tyres, something that's being changed before I take delivery, it is completely "stock", complete with AM radio/ 8-TRAK combo I have no idea where I'm gonna get cartridges for it, guess I'd better limber up my e-bay fingers.

@papajam.. I asked about that, wanted a discount but he charged me more! funnily enough my spider has the steering wheel on the wrong seat as well

@Andrew, apparently the same colour was used on the cars that were sold to the polizia and carabinaeri units, so it is in fact quite a common colour in Italy.

It's a great color on the Berlina. I've always loved it. Nice car. Very, very nice example.

WOW..Congrats! Looks new to me! Must still be a blast to drive with only 55000 on the meter...

I like the psychadelic carpetting as well!
