We are thrilled to present this exceptional 1969 Fiat 500 Gamine Vignale, a true masterpiece of Italian automotive design, representing the pinnacle of elegance and exclusivity from the late 1960s. This vehicle, exceptionally rare and in pristine, concours-level condition, is a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

History and Provenance:

The Fiat 500 Gamine Vignale was crafted by the renowned Italian coachbuilder Alfredo Vignale, taking the base of the classic Fiat 500 and turning it into a unique, two-seater roadster. Produced between 1967 and 1971 in limited numbers, it is now a rare collectible, with its charming, retro style evoking memories of classic pre-war cars. The Gamine quickly became known for its playful yet elegant appearance, and today, it remains one of the most coveted Fiat models among vintage car aficionados.

This particular model, manufactured in 1969, has only 84,378 km and is a Targa Oro ASI (Italian Historic Car Register Gold Plate), a testament to its historical significance and impeccable preservation. The Targa Oro plate is proudly displayed on the front right of the vehicle, showcasing its collector’s status.

Condition and Restoration:

• Exterior: The bodywork is in pristine condition, finished in a beautiful white. The paintwork has been impeccably maintained original, with no signs of rust or damage. The car is preserved to a concours standard, ready to turn heads at any classic car event.
• Interior: The interior is just as stunning, featuring black leather upholstery in flawless condition. The seats and dashboard have been meticulously cared for, and the retro design of the Gamine is beautifully accentuated by the original steering wheel and perfectly restored controls.

Engine and Performance:

This Gamine Vignale is equipped with a slightly upgraded 110F engine, bringing its displacement close to 650 cc, offering a bit more power than the standard model, which adds to the driving pleasure. However, for those who prefer complete originality, the original engine is included and can be reinstalled upon request, maintaining the flexibility of restoration to factory specifications.

Rarity and Legacy:

The Fiat 500 Gamine Vignale is a rare vehicle, with fewer than 300 units believed to have been produced. Its charming design and exclusivity have made it a sought-after piece among collectors. Although this model wasn’t designed for racing, its unique and nostalgic aesthetic has made it a frequent feature at Concours d’Elegance events around the world.

Conclusion:

This 1969 Fiat 500 Gamine Vignale is more than just a car; it’s a piece of Italian motoring history, lovingly preserved by a former owner with decades of passion for vintage vehicles. With its impeccable condition, rare status, and historical significance, it presents a unique opportunity to own an authentic and rare classic.
