*Rare Ritmo Cabriolet
*Very good condition
*Low kilometres
Launched in April 1978 at the Turin Motor Show, the Fiat Ritmo was Fiat's answer to the popular MK1 Volkswagen Golf. Styled and built by Bertone, the Ritmo (known as the Strada in the UK) was released at a time when small European hatchbacks were becoming increasingly popular, and the styling certainly helped it to stand out from the crowd. The cabriolet models in particular were distinctive, and are now increasingly rare. This low mileage Italian example is a third series car, and is offered in very good condition. There is little history with the car, but the bodywork, paintwork and interior are all in good condition, and the electrics all work as they should (as does the folding roof). The car runs are drives nicely, although it has not been used in the last 2 years by the vendor, so the car will need recommissioning before being put to active use. The car is currently a part of a private collection, and is a rare survivor – perfect for use as a fun summer runabout.
