Siata 300 BC Registry - ST 442 BC Car detail

Overview

ST*442*BC is the first of the "last ten" Motto-bodied cars that was delivered with a tuned Fiat 1100 engine that makes these cars come alive when driven hard. The torque and power of the 1100 engine also makes the Fiat 500 "Topolino" derived rear end a bit fragile if you are not careful to drive smoothly. ST*442*BC is a largely original car that is raced fairly gently and with great respect by its owner who has some of its original parts set aside in order to preserve them. This car is believed to be Blue originally.
