We knew, and have seen, many special Fiat 600s built by Allemano, but we have never seen, nor were we aware of, Fiat 500s built by the same coachbuilder.
Furthermore, in this case, we are not talking about a coupé or a small station wagon, but a Spider, which makes it even rarer since its construction requires much greater engineering commitment as there is no roof to hold together the two ends of the car, so the side members and the floor must be reinforced to prevent the body from opening like a clamshell.
Another particularity is that this special 500 was built in 1957, therefore on one of the earliest chassis produced, and then purchased by a lady from Piedmont in Turin who used it to drive around the most fashionable part of the Ligurian Riviera during the summer. We do not know how much the lady spent on this car but we imagine, given the underlying work to build it, that at the time it would have cost at least double the price of a standard model. Considering its rarity, we assume that even today, the price will not leave anyone indifferent. Find it for sale here in Reggio Emilia, Italy.
