The Giovanni Michelotti-designed A110 featured fiberglass bodywork mounted to a steel backbone chassis and was produced from 1962 to 1977. This example was stripped and repainted its current shade of blue in 2012 by The Autoshop Accident Repair Centre of Gloucestershire, England.
Additional work performed during the repaint included re-applying a gel coat to the bodywork, replacing the door hinge pins, reinforcing the upper rear panel and trunk lid closing area, fabricating the lower front valance grilles and a replacement rear panel, and repairing fiberglass in the engine bay and luggage compartment. The side moldings have been removed, and exterior features include a lower air inlet for the front-mounted radiator, various period-style decals, fog lamps, plexiglass headlight covers, bullet-style side mirrors, a UK-spec front number plate, and chrome bumperettes. An uninstalled front grille will accompany the vehicle.
The 13” three-lug alloy wheels are mounted with 175/70 Avon Radial tires. Braking is through four-wheel discs. The car is said to have been fitted with a 1300S-style high-ratio steering rack and chassis reinforcements some time during previous ownership. Two spare tires are included in the sale.
The cabin was reupholstered during previous ownership in the mid-2010s and houses reupholstered front bucket seats trimmed in patterned brown leather with a matching rear bench and door panels. Replacement tan carpets line the floors, and additional equipment includes a roll bar, blue TRS multi-point harnesses, a Smiths analog clock, and dark blue floor mats.
A leather-wrapped steering wheel frames instrumentation that includes a 200-km/h speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary displays. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 85k kilometers (~53k miles), around 1k of which have been added during current ownership, though total mileage is unknown. Work in 2012 including repairing cracks and holes in the dash and repainting it in a black crackle finish.
The rear-mounted 1,300cc inline-four is believed to have been installed in the 1970s and is equipped with dual Weber carburetors with trumpet intakes. An oil cooler and larger front-mount radiator were reportedly fitted some time ago. The engine was removed and dismantled to repair a cracked connecting rod during prior ownership, and receipts from over the years are provided in the gallery. The seller notes that the car was re-wired in the mid-2010s.
A five-speed manual transaxle was fitted in place of the previous four-speed gearbox prior to its exportation to the UK. A replacement clutch kit was installed in 2009.
Several photos taken during various stages of the paintwork can be seen in the gallery, along with FIA paperwork and other documentation.
