Fiat - Fiat 8V
The Fiat 8V was a sporstcar with a little 2 litre V8 engine on an all independent suspension chassis. Built between 1952 and 1954 only 114 cars were built, and apart from the 34 bodied by Fiat, the rest of the 8V's (Otto Vu) were clothed by a variety of Italian coachbuilders. The cars were used competitively throughout the 1950's . We would highly recommend looking at the book Fiat 8V by Tony Andriaensens.
Tyre size used on the Fiat 8V was the radial ply millimetric 165R400. Blockley has manufactured a period correct authentic 165HR400 with excellent speed rating and steel belt carcass construction which will transform the handling of the cars. This Blockley tyre has the correct period taller diameter, with steel belt construction. See full details of this tyre below:
