Nigel Mansell’s Fiat Tipo.

This car was presented to Nigel Mansell by the Managing Director of Fiat, Mr. Cesare Romiti on the 9th September 1990, following the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

It is a Fiat Tipo 1.8 i.e. DGT, specially manufactured for this presentation with chassis number 1,000,000 in a non-standard colour British Racing Green with special leather interior and unique alloy wheels.

It appears that the car was first registered on the 8th of January 1992, and kept by Nigel Mansell until the 4th of November 1993, when it was purchased by a resident of the Isle of Man. According to the service record, it had only completed 425 miles at the time of sale.

This owner kept the car until October 2003, when it was purchased by the Fiat dealer principal in Guernsey, Channel Islands.

In 2004 it has been sold to a small private museum in England. I bought the Fiat there in March 2008. I have since kept the car in storage, and used it once or twice a year by taking it to car meetings.

It has been serviced every year. Last (small) service summer 2022: Engine oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs have been renewed.

Very good condition: minimal signs of wear
