A 1987 Fiat 147 Spazio CL car was discovered inside a farmer's shed in Argentina. What's special about him? It was practically not used. The vehicle is 35 years old and has never been licensed, it still maintains its original paintwork and the protective plastics on its seats have not even been removed. It has only 700 km on it.

The untouched car went viral on social media, and grew the eye of many collectors of vintage vehicles. However, the new owner of the relic does not want to sell it, as it is a car salesman in Buenos Aires.
Even though it's not for sale, everyone wonders how much a vehicle like this would be worth in Brazil? We will try to measure.
The UOL Carros page went after researching the value of the vehicle, and for that, spoke with collectors of the Fiat brand and antique car dealers. All respondents stated that the Fiat 147 has appreciated a lot in recent years, mainly due to the Covid-19 pandemic, which gave an up in the collectibles market.
However, the Brazilian market prefers old national models, such as Volkswagen, Ford and Chevrolet, considering the production period (between 1970-1990). When launched, the Fiat 147 was not very successful here, and even received criticism about its marches.
In the antique vehicle market, a Fiat 147 in excellent condition costs an average of R$30,000, and can reach up to R$65,000 in special cases. However, a car so preserved and original, with very low mileage, like the one found in Argentina, would certainly be worth much more than the average if the right buyer was found.
According to Reginaldo Gonçalves, who sells old cars, the specimen found on the farm can be worth up to R$ 100,000. Silvio Luiz, owner of Old is Cool Motors agrees that the price can be quite high due to the originality of the vehicle.
But the businessman points out that this model found is not among the favorites of Brazilians, who prioritize older models with a square front and chrome bumpers. He concludes by saying that yes, the model found may be worth R$ 100,000, but he would not risk buying it and having it stopped at the dealership.
The Fiat 147 Spazio model stopped being produced in 1986 and was replaced by the Uno, which was a sales success here in the country.
