Here it is another car we ignored the existence of so far: it’s an interpretation of the Fiat 600 made by one of the most renowned coachbuilders of the last century, Alfredo Vignale. The seller says that’s a very rare car: he’s actually right as this is the first time in years we see one for… Read More A different reading: 1956 Siata 600 by Vignale
When we saw this ad we believed that the seller put the wrong description: the car looked like a 1500S Coupé, but actually the seller explains this discrepancy. Indeed this car is said to have been built in november 1962 whilst the “official” build year of the 1600S is 1963: the seller says that this… Read More Hybrid body: 1962 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
Back in the last century coachbuilders were not only involved in producing cars for wealthy and whimsical people but also for workers with taste. This pickup is the proof of that: we used to know that many commercial vehicles were built on the platforms of mass production cars, especially of Fiat and Lancia, but we’ve never… Read More Coachbuilt pickup: 1934 Fiat 508 Van by Bertone
Why does it seem so difficult to find a description containing also the build year of a car for sale? We just don’t know and then, again, we can just guess that this Sportiva (which means two seats) could be built in 1970, but that’s just a throw of the dice. These cars were build in 300… Read More Uncertain birth: 1970 Moretti Sportiva
January 9 It seems that the car has been sold a couple of days after this article. Indeed now the link opens with the other “spare” Multipla for sale by the same owner: this one is unfortunately in desperate conditions. January 5 This is one of those times when the seller doesn’t tell about the… Read More Two tone sleeper: 1959 Fiat 600 Multipla
This is one of those little cars which were made on demand by some special client who wanted something special without spending a lot of money. back then the market demand was huge for this kind of cars (in relative terms, of course) but the overal numbers were not high at all: the seller says… Read More Compact luxury: 1955 Fiat 600 “Rendez Vous” by Vignale
As usual for french cars until the early nineties, this french delivered Dino 2000 Coupé has proper yellow headlights: the rest of the car is quite stock, including the not-running engine (which is said to be not stuck). Indeed this seems a very correct old Dino 2000: the seller says that the car has been… Read More Yellow eyes: 1967 Fiat Dino 2000 Coupé
The fifties and the sixties were the decades when Fiat still knew how to build sport cars: the 1600S with the O.S.C.A. engine is a proof of that. Indeed this car is equipped with the D.O.H.C. four cylinder engine built by Maserati brothers in the early fifties and the “sold” to Fiat which made a… Read More Four lights, two camshafts: 1963 Fiat 1600S O.S.C.A.
This is new. As it’s just happened, this is the first time we see this car, and probably a long time will pass before we’ll see another one for sale. It’s called Neckar/Fiat 500 Limousette, built by Weinsberg coachworks between 1959 and 1963. Weinsberg also built the Coupé version on the same Fiat 500 N… Read More The sedan version: 1959 Neckar/Fiat 500 Limousette by Weinsberg
This Abarth 750 by Allemano (#474756, Allemano #616) is one of the small family of spiders built by Abarth on the Fiat 600 platform; many were used to race and indeed this car is one of those. It’s in fact a long time racer: for sure this car has joined most of the competition of the… Read More Lime Rock special: 1958 Abarth 750 Spider by Allemano
