1954 Fiat 8V Zagato Berlinetta
- Engine
- 2.0L V8
- Colour
- Emerald green
Chassis 000076 is one of just 26 Fiat 8V berlinettas bodied by Carrozzeria Zagato, dispatched from Fiat to Zagato in early May 1954 and finished in emerald green — a colour it retains today. First registered in August 1955 to a Turin-based energy company, the car remained in Italian hands throughout its life, avoiding period competition but participating in vintage events from the 1970s onward. A recent comprehensive restoration reunited it with its original engine and refreshed the interior and paintwork.
