Engine no. 1295019
• Iconic 'baby' 4x4
• One of approximately 600 made
• One of an estimated 50 survivors
• FIAT 500 engine
"Presented at the 1966 Turin Show, the Ferves Ranger was an attractive looking and extremely compact all-terrain vehicle. The rear-mounted engine was an 18bhp FIAT 500 unit, all independent suspension came from the FIAT 600D, and all four wheels were driven. The open bodywork featured a folding windscreen and doors that could be fixed in the open position and could seat four passengers. A Cargo pick-up version was also marketed. Later examples had 5-speed gearboxes (with an extra-low ratio), the option of 4x2 drive and a locking differential." – The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile.
Produced by body manufacturer Ferves (Ferrari, Veicoli, Speciali), the Ranger had an open steel body and four vinyl covered seats. Early versions had removable 'suicide' doors, later one's conventional hinged doors. Maximum speed was in the region of 70-80km/h.
The vehicle offered here is a rare example of the iconic Ferves Ranger 4x4. One of some 600 made, of which only 50 are believed to survive, this example was recently imported from Italy following some restoration work. Finished in bright orange with black interior, these diminutive 4x4s with the FIAT 500 engine rarely come to the market and would make a fun addition to any serious collection. Please note that this Lot is sold on Bill of Sale as there are no registration documents with it.
