Iyashesha, inemidlalo futhi inobukhazikhazi, i-Maison Ghia eyakhelwe izihlalo ezine kwaba ukungena kwe-Fiat emakethe esebenza kahle kakhulu ye-Pber GT. Yaqala ukukhonjiswa njengesibonelo embukisweni wezimoto iTurin ngo-1960, wonke umuntu owayibona wathi, "IFiat kufanele yenze lokhu." Benza kanjalo, futhi ngesikhathi iqala ukudayisa ngo-1962, yayibiza ngokuphindwe kabili kunaleyo Uhlobo olusha lwe-Jaguar E.

UJohn Slater unesibonelo sango-1964 futhi ungomunye wama-coupes angaba ngu-20 okukholakala ukuthi asekhona emigwaqweni yase-Australia. “KwaFiat bakhiqize izimoto ezibalelwa ku-7000 1962 phakathi kuka-1968 no-200, kanti zilinganiselwa ku-70 kuphela ebezihamba kwesokudla zisuka efemini. Kulinganiselwa ukuthi cishe abantu abangama-40 baya e-UK futhi mhlawumbe bangama-50 kuye kwangama-2300 kuphela abafika e-Australia. Akekho ongazi ngempela ngoba i-coupe ayikaze ikhonjwe ngokwehlukana enambeni edidiyelwe kwaFiat,” kusho uJohn. Lokhu kusho ukuthi iminyaka yakhe engu-XNUMX iyimoto eyivelakancane.

Yakhelwe ohlakeni olufanayo neFiat 2300 sedan, i-coupe yaklanywa uSergio Sartorelli, owayengumklami omkhulu kaGhia ngaleso sikhathi. U-Tom Tjaarda no-Virgil Exner Jr., obaba babo ababeyizinganekwane zomklamo wezimoto e-US, nabo baba nesandla kulo mfanekiso. Izinsika ezihlukile zomthambeka obuyela emuva we-C kanye newindi elikhulu elingemuva lesitayela esisheshayo bekucijile futhi kunikeze indawo eyanele abantu abane kanye nemithwalo.

“Imane igibela ngendlela emangalisayo,” kusho uJohn. “Injini enamasilinda ayisithupha yaklanywa unjiniyela wangaphambili weFerrari u-Aurelio Lampredi, futhi abantu bakwa-Arbat baye bayivuselela yafinyelela ku-136 hp ngokufaka enye i-Weber carburetor, besebenzisa amapiston akhethekile kanye ne-camshaft eguquliwe. Ino-gearbox odonsa ngamagiya amane kanye nama-disc brakes amane, ngakho iyama ngokushesha.”

I-Fiat idonsa amehlo lapho uJohn emthatha ngomkhumbi. “Kuncane okulethwe lapha futhi kuncane manje okukhona emhlabeni wonke, okusho ukuthi abantu abaningi abakaze bakubone ngaphambili,” usho kanje. Pho kungani bembalwa kangaka manje? UJohn uyachaza: “Ngeminyaka yawo-60, iFiat yayingenawo ukuvikela ukugqwala, ngakho izimoto eziningi eYurophu zazigqwalile.”

Njengoba ungalindela, izingxenye ze-Fiat kunzima ukuzithola, kodwa amandla okushayela e-2300 adlula kakhulu ubunzima bokuyigcina isendleleni. "Imoto yokuvakasha enhle," usho kanje.
