0-60 in 43 Seconds, nd a top speed of 57.1 MPH; statistics that only the Fiat Multipla can be proud of. Putting it all into perspective however, he Multipla was able to carry 6 people, chieved 38 MPG, nd was widely affordable by the masses at 799 Pounds Sterling, ccording toThe Motor, British Magazine that tested Fiat’s first version in 1956. The Multipla was widely used throughout Italy and the rest of Europe as a Taxi in cities, ut served as a widely used people carrier in many capacities throughout production.

The example on offer, 1963 Fiat Multipla, hassis # 100D108105232, as a long documented history from new thanks to its original Italian Registration booklet as well as a statement from the ACI (Automobile Club D’Italia). The car was first registered on February 6th1963, nd built December 20th1962. From what we can tell, he car stayed with its first owner who restored it about 10 years ago and seldom used it. It was exported to Canada in 2007 to its second owner who was also the President of the Fiat Club of Canada. It was gently used and shown at a variety events each year until coming to Pennsylvania in 2015 with its current collector/owner.

Cosmetically, he car shows well for a nice driver quality example. While not perfect, t is straight down the sides with good gaps for a Multipla, onsidering build quality when new was not all that good to begin with. The colors fit the shape well and the paint is nice throughout with few blemishes as noted in the photos. The glass shows some imperfections, nd some trim items are faded in spots. The rubber is still supple and overall the car is inviting as a car to be driven with no real need for improvement. Some items to note are the non-original style mirrors, nd evidence of some light filler use in places, ut nothing drastic or unexpected in one of these. The tires are newer and have a lot of life left on them as well.
