The Fiat 600 served as the basis for many variations: most were custom-built by the major Italian coachbuilders, while others were built with the aim of supporting companies. This specimen is part of the last category: the chassis, with appropriate modifications, is precisely that of the small Italian utilitarian car but the body was set… Read More Italian minivan: 1959 Fiat 600 Multipla by OM
It is probably the first time that we have published a Fiat 130 for sale, mainly for two reasons: it is not the classic car that everyone dreams of and there are very few around. Let’s start saying that this was perhaps the last “big” Fiat, produced at a time when the Turin factory was… Read More Labor of love: 1970 Fiat 130
Indeed, this is the second specimen ever seen by us of this special, and very rare, Fiat 600: it is in fact a four-door version built by Francis Lombardi coachworks. At the time it cost about 30% more than the standard version, a cost imposed by the complex processing of the body to allow the… Read More The second one: 1956 Fiat 600 Lucciola by Francis Lombardi
We have published some Fiat 600s built by Viotti, both in Coupé and Granluce versions, but it is the first time that we have had a green one. Christophe, the owner of this beautiful car, reported the ad to us and we did not miss the opportunity to comment on it. The photos available to… Read More Cute green: 1956 Fiat 600 Coupé by Viotti
The seller of this rare Ghia 1500 GT says that 846 cars like this have been built, and that currently 30 survive: we are not sure about this last figure, however we are still talking about a very rare car. Over the years we have seen several 1500 GTs for sale (both in photos and… Read More Golden ticket: 1964 Fiat 1500 Coupé by Ghia
We have already seen a similar car but in red: we do not know if it is another example or this one painted in a different color, the fact is that this shape is not new to us. Last week we talked about the “Sport” category: here is another representative of this category, this time… Read More Blue Barchetta: 1951 Fiat 1100E Sport
This particular model of Fiat 500B is very rare: if you happen to see the photos on the web you can get the impression that there are many of them around, the reality is that they are the same specimens photographed in different times and places. There are no “official” statistics about the number of… Read More One owner: 1948 Fiat 500B Giardiniera Belvedere
The golden age of the so-called “Sport” saw its greatest glory in the late 1950s, exactly when this car was built. Sport was a category of cars that enthusiasts know well: uncovered cars (“Barchetta” type bodywork) handcrafted by often very small workshops, such as that of the Mandarini brothers (mandarini = tangerine) who applied the… Read More Green tangerine: 1956 Mandarini 1100 Sport by Colli
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
