The seller offers for sale this 1989 Fiat Tipo 1.4 DGT, a well-preserved example of Fiat’s popular hatchback. This particular car has a 1,400cc four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission, providing a straightforward and efficient driving experience. Originally registered in Italy, it has remained in the same country since new and has been owned by a single family.

With just 61,590 km on the odometer, this Tipo has seen relatively little use for its age. It retains 90% of its original “Grigio Metallic” (#620F) paint, with only the right-side doors and fender receiving a respray due to scratches. The interior remains untouched and original, featuring blue velour upholstery that has been well preserved. This car is offered with its original Italian registration documents and is currently located in Bari, Italy.

The bodywork is in a good condition, and the paint retains a presentable appearance. The resprayed areas blend well with the rest of the car, maintaining a largely original look. The interior is intact and in a clean and well-kept condition. Mechanically, the car is in running and driving order. The vehicle has a valid inspection, meaning it meets the necessary roadworthiness requirements.

The Fiat Tipo was introduced in 1988 as Fiat’s successor to the Ritmo, offering a fresh and modern design with a focus on practicality, interior space, and efficiency. Unlike many of its competitors, the Tipo featured a galvanized steel body, which helped improve rust resistance—an important factor for longevity. The car was built on Fiat’s Type Two platform, which later served as the basis for several other models, including the Lancia Dedra and Alfa Romeo 155.

The 1.4 DGT variant was positioned as a mid-range option, featuring digital instrumentation, which was a novelty for its class at the time. The Tipo’s design was praised for its boxy yet aerodynamic shape, maximizing cabin space while maintaining a compact footprint. Fiat equipped the model with front-wheel drive and a transverse engine layout, making it both economical and easy to maneuver in urban environments. Despite being a common sight on European roads in the late 1980s and early 1990s, well-preserved examples like this are becoming increasingly rare due to age and wear.

Noted imperfections include a prior respray on the right-side doors and fender due to scratches. While the paint remains mostly original, minor imperfections may be present due to age. The interior, although in good shape, shows the expected signs of careful use over time. The car holds a valid inspection.
