Description

Sold new in France
- Superb original colour combination
- Powerful engine, superb styling

Presented at the Turin Motor Show in 1960, the 2300S was an upmarket car, a genuine GT far removed from Fiat's popular image. Its six-cylinder engine, designed by Aurelio Lampredi, was handed over to Abarth to increase its power to 150bhp (SAE), while its unusually elegant body was designed and produced by Ghia. Its luxurious, opulent interior was a match for the most prestigious makes.
The car on offer is particularly interesting because it was sold new in France, in Paris in the 17th arrondissement, by Bonnevie & Cie, as can be seen from the original purchase invoice. The car was registered on 25 November 1964 for the first time. It was acquired by its current owner in 2017 and would have known only two owners since new. This well-preserved 2300S is in its original configuration: petrol blue shade, and a magnificent optional red leather interior with beautiful patina. The documents accompanying the car are also particularly interesting and include the maintenance manual, the period Fiat network and the after-sales service book. It is equipped with its period Philips car radio, jack, and tool kit. In good overall condition, it was previously repainted, and its interior carpets restored. The mechanicals are working satisfactorily, making it possible to reach Normandy from Paris and back to the delight of its occupants, as its owner told us. Rare, powerful, and elegant, this Fiat 2300S has an enviable history and deserves the attention of all fans of attractive Italian GTs.
