Among the countless applications of the chassis of the Volkswagen Typ 1 (aka Beetle) there was also this: the Apal 1200, with the body strictly made of fiberglass. Apal was a Belgian company, indeed the name is the acronym of “Application Polyester Armé de Liège” (Reinforced Polyester Application of Liege), and only 150 of these… Read More Body only: 1962 Apal 1200
Owning a rare car also means taking on the burden of working with parts that are difficult to find, as in the case of this Viotti. Actually, from the mechanical point of view, this car does not require a lot of effort since the chassis, engine, brakes, suspension are those of a Fiat 1200, produced… Read More The quest for parts: 1958 Fiat 1200 Granluce by Viotti
There is certainly not a long description of this car by its current owner, probably a man of few words. Too bad because this little spider is a fairly rare car, in fact it is a model already published by us on other occasions but often the car was in better condition than this: it… Read More No brakes: 1964 OSI 1200 Spider
There is rarely a car in these conditions, for a very specific reason. The reason is the originality of the car: this Fiat 1200 Spider, one of the best designed spiders and a Fiat icon from the 50s, second only to the 500, has a very correct external appearance, including the black Roma plate (which,… Read More Japanese heart: 1958 Fiat 1200 TV Spider
The seller claims that this is one of the two Moretti 1200 Sport built: a few years ago we certainly saw his twin for sale in the USA: the car in that case was painted dark blue. This specimen, on the other hand, seems to have never left Europe: it was sold new in Belgium… Read More The pale blue twin: 1955 Moretti 1200 Sport
At the beginning we believed that the seller wrote a wrong number about the kms made by this car: actually the seller reiterates in the description that the car has done just 6000 kms from new. If true, this car should have the right to enter into the Guinnes World Records in the “Less driven”… Read More Six thousand kms: 1964 OSI 1200 Cabriolet
We have always had a soft spot for these little coupés and the reason is simple: they’re small, cute, classy, nimble and very well made. That’s quite a good recipe. Indeed that’s not the first time we publish one and it will not be the last one: unfortunately, lately, it’s not easy to find one… Read More Small greatness: 1971 Simca 1200 S Coupé by Bertone
This car puzzles us. First of all because it’s said to be a 1953 car: in that year the 1100/103 was just released but the first Trasformabile was sold in 1955. Ok the year could be wrong but the strange things aren’t finished yet: the bumpers are the same installed on the later 1200 TV… Read More Original stuff: 195? Fiat 1100/103 TV Trasformabile
Although the seller of this 1200 TV Trasformabile says that the car is from 1960, this model was actually produced up to 1959 when it was replaced by the 1200 Spider built by Pininfarina. The 1200 TV Trasormabile is a less valuable car than its predecessor, the 1100 TV which had a lot of flamboyant details,… Read More Wired: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
We’ve already published this car in our previous article about Classic Virus List, but we believe that this car went a little bit unnoticed, and that would be a waste.This is a car in need of a total restoration and unfortunately there is only one photo posted by the seller, but we believe that this… Read More Coachbuilt rarity: Fiat 1200 Coupé by Pininfarina
