1957 Fiat Multipla being sold to downsize a personal collection, this Multipla was purchased in running condition but has been sitting for two years due to health reasons. It has an interesting and quite amazing history. It was purchased in California from Apple’s former warehouse for new projects and was used as inspiration for the iCar project. If you search on Google “Apple Multipla” you will find articles about this.The car needs full restoration and is being sold as is, I am open to reasonable offers. This is not only a cool and rare Multipla, but its history can make for either amazing stories or may bring real good money at auction once restored. I am including here the original text from when I purchased it.It currently doesn’t run and will need a transport to be moved around.“ This is a 1957 Fiat 600 Multipla.

These little cars were very simple and easy to repair and durable.This car transforms from a 6, 5, 4, 3 or 2 person vehicle with a open floor. All the seats fold and go like the minivans of today. Just to think they thought of the seats folding into the floor way back when to have a flat space to store things.The car runs very good, carburetor needs some work to run great.

The car isn't perfect and was repaired many many years ago approx. 30+ and now some of the body filler is starting to crack out in area's around the bottom sides and wheel wells of the car. The job was poorly executed back in the day. Too much filler for my liking but surely can be resurrected and made right. The car is fairly original missing only a door mirror and exhaust shield through the pan. I think the car was a taxi, but just speculating because of some added switches and a bell thing under the dash. All the upholstery was redone many years ago but shows fairly nicely. All the glass is good all the gauges, lights wipers, etc. all work.The cars' history is with APPLE inc. It was purchased by apple for inspiration for an Icar they were attempting to brainstorm on.Before that it was in England. before that I'm unsure....”
