In 2004, it was purchased by a collector who decided to commission a complete, frame-off restoration performed to the highest standards, without regard for cost or market value.

Model features
The FIAT 508 Balilla 4-speed, produced between 1934 and 1937, symbolized the rebirth of Italian motoring in the 1930s.
Its 995 cc inline-four engine produced 22 hp, allowing a top speed of approximately 90 km/h.
The addition of the 4-speed gearbox made it smoother and more versatile than the earlier 3-speed version.
Admired for its reliability and elegant design, the Balilla became a cultural icon of pre-war Italy.
