FIAT 508 BALILLA (1932-34)

2-seater tourer, 2-door saloon.

Looks like a scaled-down 522; simple specification with gravity feed and three-speed crash 'box, but it's also got a cruciform frame and hydraulic brakes; vertical barred stoneguards to radiators. Four-door saloons (pillarless) from late '33; 17ins wheels of either disc or wire type. Uninspired, but unburstable; it didn't sell well here.
