Recent racing history:

• Mille Miglia in 2005, 2006, 2007 with previous Italian owner.
• Mille Miglia 2015, 2017, 2018 & 2019 with our Belgian customers.

This, in my opinion, says it all…! Everything confirmed by the accompanying voluminous history file.

Our classic car workshop meticulously prepared and maintained this very special Fiat 508C for our Belgian customers. Apparently we did a good job, because every recent Mille Miglia, this handsome sports-racing Fiat arrived back in Brescia without missing a beat!
