I am the second owner. The car was completely restored, in all its parts in 2016.
I am selling it to move on to another project and because I am sorry to keep it stationary in a garage, when it could be a yellow jewel in a beautiful villa in the United States.

The car is practically new, it has driven very few km, the odometer shows less than 500.

The Ferves Ranger was first unveiled at the 1966 Turin Motor Show as an unusual and distinctly Italian take on the compact off-roader. The car was designed by Carlo Ferrari, and its name is derived from the abbreviation of FERrari VEicoli Speciali (Ferrari Special Vehicles). The Ranger made use of a combination of elements from both the successful Fiat 500 and 600, with an 18-horsepower rear-mounted engine sourced from the 500 and the all-independent suspension from the 600D. The open bodywork included a folding windscreen and doors, which are easy to remove, and the utilitarian little car can comfortably seat four passengers.

The Ranger was available in two- and four-wheel-drive versions, allowing for either relaxed around-town driving or to cover terrain that no other microcar could hope to traverse. This was aided by a very low gear ratio. In fact, the Ranger can be driven easily at walking speeds. Ferves would go on to produce approximately 600 Rangers, of which it is believed that fewer than 50 such delightful cars remain.

This example is finished in a lovely shade of yellow. It has been under the care of a dedicated owner and presents in very good condition throughout, with the body, interior, and engine bay showing only minor signs of enjoyable use. This Ferves Ranger is ready to tackle any task at hand, be it on- or off-road, either of which it will do with total uniqueness.

It would be difficult to find a more charming yet capable little Ranger.

The car has a clean title to my name ready to be registered in the USA again
