224393roadItaly
Engine
1.5L inline-four sidevalve, 37 bhp

A rare limited-edition competition variant of the Fiat Tipo 514, the 514 CA 'Coppa del Alpi' roadster was built on the standard-wheelbase chassis and fitted with a 37bhp tuned sidevalve engine, giving a top speed approaching 112 km/h. One of only a handful of sporting derivatives offered alongside the standard 514, this example has undergone an extensive restoration, most likely in Italy, and has accumulated a distinguished record as a regular entrant in the Mille Miglia Storica, participating in 2006, 2010, 2014, 2015, and 2017, with an accepted entry for 2020.

This car's public record is built from its auction and competition history. Register your ownership and privately add your own records to make it a verified Legacy Metrics passport — provenance that backs your car's value at sale and gives your insurer evidence to price against. Roy reviews and verifies every registration personally.

Each chassis record is compiled from public auction archives and links to its source material. Ownership, competition and maintenance entries are extracted from those catalogue listings by an LLM, which can make mistakes — please contact us with any corrections. The summary is Legacy Metrics’ own writing; we do not reproduce catalogue text.

“Full” and “partial” documentation labels indicate how well each entry is corroborated in the underlying sources, not an audit of the car’s physical paperwork. Names of recent or living owners are withheld for privacy.
