This car was built in an era when Fiat truly knew how to make cars. The Fiat 1600S “OSCA” stands as the refined outcome of a remarkable collaboration between three giants of Italian motoring: Fiat, OSCA (Officine Specializzate Costruzioni Automobili, founded by the Maserati brothers), and Pininfarina. The result was a car that beautifully combined… Read More Twin cam coupé: 1964 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
The base of this car is the Fiat 118 series (the one used for the 1500 and 1600 coupés, to be precise), but the bodywork is substantially different. As mentioned earlier, for this special spider, the chassis and engine of the 118 series were used, equipped with the twin-camshaft engine produced by Fiat but designed… Read More White scorpion: 1959 Abarth 1600 Spider by Allemano
The seller of this beautiful 1600S OSCA says that this is one of 814 built: perhaps this is true if you also consider the convertible versions. In fact, we have different data (better, or worse depending on the point of view): in fact, we understand that just under 300 specimens were built as regards the… Read More Silver italian: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé by Pininfarina
This MT4 (chassis # 1148) has been locked in a garage for 46 years, more than half of its life, which began in 1954. Only 78 MT4s have been built and most of them are unknown as these cars were bought to be driven on the track or in road races, so it’s easy to… Read More Red gem: 1954 OSCA MT4
It is not very difficult to find a Fiat 1500s Cabriolet for sale, however this particular example has very rare features. Let’s say to begin with that this is a restored specimen, and it also looks excellent even if the photos are not the best to judge a car (in reality, a car should never… Read More Top Hardtop: 1962 Fiat 1500S O.S.C.A. Cabriolet
Twin cam engine, aluminum body, covered headlights, perspex windows and double bubble roof: this information is already enough – for an enthusiast – to identify an Italian sports car built in the 1950s or 1960s. In the specific case it is a rare OSCA 1600 GT, one of the 98 produced by the Maserati brothers… Read More White racer: 1962 OSCA 1600 GT by Zagato
Some time ago one of our readers pointed out this specimen to us, we were uncertain whether to publish it as the price is missing but in the end we decided that this was a car whose conditions were too good not to publish it. It is a Fiat Coupé 1600S – type 118b –… Read More Impeccable: 1965 Fiat 1600S Coupé
It is not the first time that you will hear us say that this car is undervalued, but this is actually an advantage, certainly not a defect. This is because it is a car with very beautiful lines, advanced from a mechanical point of view (no less than a contemporary Giulietta Sprint, indeed, perhaps more… Read More Little red coupé: 1964 Fiat 1500S OSCA Coupé by Pininfarina
Here we are in the presence of one of the best pieces among the Italian cars of the 60s: an important factory and an equally famous coachbuilder. It is worth saying that this is not a car born to have a “civil” use and therefore converted to racing: the OSCA 1600 GT was born with… Read More Winning four: 1963 OSCA 1600 GT by Zagato
Here is another example of our favorite Fiat from the 60s: a 1600S Coupe with the type 118b engine produced in less than 300 units. It is easy to recognize this model immediately: from the outside it is identical to the 1500 Coupè (the one with a pushrod engine) with the exception of the front… Read More Grey hound: 1963 Fiat 1600S Coupé O.S.C.A. by Pininfarina
