00:00Warm greetings to all of you, and welcome back to our usual Topolino Maranto event.
00:06On this occasion we are in Correggio, in a beautiful square with a wonderful, well-restored church,
00:10which frames an equally stunning car, it is a convertible Balilla,
00:18very rare because it was bodied by Viotti and we have never had the opportunity to present it previously.
00:24This is a very interesting car, a very rare car because very few of them were made,
00:31but I would like to give a brief mention regarding the 508, which was born after the 501 and the 509.
00:41Fiat made a great effort in the early 1930s to be able to produce a car
00:48which was supposed to be the Italian Forti, that is, of large production, made after grueling tests.
00:56The first time in Europe these tests were performed was in 1931 by various pilots,
01:04just that they are trying their hand at mountain climbing, carrying 4 people.
01:08A truly remarkable job is done before going into production.
01:12and it is also controversial when it is announced that this model,
01:18which has a 1995cc engine, 34 horsepower, would have traveled 100 kilometers with 6, 7, almost 8 liters of gasoline,
01:29while other manufacturers said that the engine size should have consumed less.
01:35But Fiat pointed out that the consumption was done on real roads and not in special tests.
01:42With this model Fiat wanted to mechanize, to make rapid production, let's say, of very large series.
01:50So much so that it started by building 100 models a day, by 1933 it had increased to 250 models a day.
01:58It is a car that met very well, it was carried until the end of the war,
02:03It already has hydraulic braking, which not everyone had at the time.
02:08Vittorino Viotti began building, or rather, making, coachwork in 1921.
02:16It starts with, tuning cars, doing...
02:18Where is this in Turin?
02:19Always in Turin.
02:21But this one has an industrial mind, it doesn't have an artisan mind,
02:25and therefore aims to have large productions.
02:29To do this, of course, he must present himself to the public with special models.
02:34He builds a single model on an Alfa Romeo 2003 8-cylinder,
02:40well-bodied, he tries his hand at other cars, such as launching, etc.
02:45but the opportunity to break through, to become an industry,
02:50he has it with this car, with which he makes it a normal body,
02:54a little more embellished than the Fiat sedan.
02:58Then he starts trying his hand at these too.
03:00This car was presented in 1935,
03:05and it is truly a little masterpiece by Viotti.
03:08Viotti then continues his work,
03:12makes other types of bodywork,
03:144-5 bodyworks made to...
03:17identical to these,
03:18they are made specifically to raise awareness of the brand,
03:21that is, it does so, so to speak, by putting the cost back on,
03:26because otherwise it would have been prohibitively expensive.
03:29Let us remember that back then everything was done by hand.
03:33Afterwards it becomes subsequently, to give a little history,
03:36he tries his hand at a beautiful Fiat 1500,
03:40makes it a very demanding cabriolet,
03:43he tried his hand at a launch in 1933
03:46launching which we can say was on the idea
03:50of French cars, of Bugattis,
03:53that is, two-tone, with a certain style, very beautiful,
03:57but its fame, its development,
03:59it's in the Balilla 508 sedan.
04:02Obviously here we have the classic example
04:05already of the Balilla, of the 508,
04:08equipped with a 4-speed gearbox instead of 3.
04:10the salt, the suspensions are from rigid salt
04:14with both front and rear leaf springs
04:17with compass shock absorbers,
04:20the classic ladder frame,
04:22It's still a good car to drive, though.
04:24the cubic capacity is minimal because it is less than 1000 cm3,
04:2895 km per hour,
04:29and there are quite a few of them, excuse me?
04:31There are not a few, it was also produced in the S version,
04:34the famous Coppa d'Oro,
04:36in addition to the famous sedans,
04:37there was a whole series of derivative cars
04:40from the same house,
04:41Ferrari himself to make the 815,
04:44the first Ferrari used a chassis of these
04:49and two engines that are joined together,
04:52so it's a very very reliable car,
04:55it was, it was produced from 1932 to 1937
04:59in 113,165 copies,
05:04which include everything,
05:05the front door was also made,
05:06it was done...
05:07But we know about these instead of Viotti,
05:09How many pieces were produced?
05:12Probably,
05:13definitely less than 5,
05:15probably 2,
05:16it was a challenging line,
05:19it's a very serious matter to be resolved
05:22and a price that probably brought it
05:25out of market,
05:27no matter how hard he tried,
05:30this served as a showcase.
