Summary

[edit]
Description

1913 Fiat Tipo Zero Italian Also called the 12/15, this was the first Fiat to be produced in large numbers and was specifically aimed at middle class owner/drivers. Over 2000 were built between 1912 and 1915. Fiat offered only one body style - a four seat open tourer. They were also supplied in chassis only form to coachbuilders for fitting custom bodies such as this two-seater by Farina. The Tipo Zero illustrates how rapidly the motor car had evolved into a practical every day vehicle. This car was fitted with electric lighting and larger wheels in 1917 and remained in regular use for nearly forty years. It was used in trials events by Mr A. Prime during the 1930s including London - Edinburgh, Land's End and Exeter trials in 1933. It also saw regular use as a garage tow vehicle up to 1951. Engine: 1847cc, 4 cylinder, side valves, 6hp Performance: 45mph Price New: £375 Manufacturer: Fabbrica Italiana Automobili, Turin Owner: Montagu Collection

Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner - The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers including Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and rare oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss exciting extra features such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker's Garage - A permanent, multi award-winning 1930's garage has been created within the Museum, complete down to the last nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. Whilst the building is a complete fabrication, everything in it - all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera - are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
