This rare 1200 TV Trasformabile (Trasformabile in Italian means that it can be transformed from closed to open, a term used until the late 50s when it was replaced by “Spider”) has been in California for a long time, as evidenced by its black license plate with yellow letters and numbers. However, we do not… Read More From Italy to Cali: 1959 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
We’re in the middle of summer so posting two spiders for two consecutive posts won’t shock anyone. Once again it is an Italian car, a Fiat built in a period in which Fiat knew how to build cars, cars that could often overshadow much more prestigious brands, also because the production range varied from the… Read More Flamboyant look: 1958 Fiat 1200 Trasformabile
Here is a small convertible that will certainly not make you feel the thrill of speed but it will still make anyone’s head turn when you drive it on the street. We have published others in the past: some in very good condition, some so-so, others still in desperate condition, however they are small cars,… Read More Spotted cabriolet: 1951 Siata Amica
This special Fiat has been under our radar for a long time, certainly since it was on sale in Italy six or seven years ago: it is rare and it is very beautiful. It is also very similar to the Ferrari 166 cabriolet built by Farina coachworks in the same year, so much so that… Read More Winemaker’s car: 1949 Fiat 1100 B Convertibile by Farina

Clearly Monviso was one of the dozens of Italian bodyshops that dedicated themselves to this kind of work, but it was one of the largest and in… Read More Almost blue: 1948 Fiat 1500 Stella Alpina by Monviso
Where there is a special car for sale, our task is to signal it also because it often happens that we will not see others for years. This is the case of this beautiful Fiat 1500 6C Trasformabile (the name used at the time in Italy to identify the convertibles) that already a car rare… Read More A special one: 1939 Fiat 1500 6C Trasformabile by Viotti
If it is true that we like the small Fiat Berlinetta built in the 40s and 50s, it is also true that the convertibles built in the same period have their dignity of publication. This is the case of this 1100 B convertible (at the time called “Trasformabile”) built in small series by Fiat itself… Read More Carrozzerie Speciali: 1948 Fiat 1100 B Trasformabile
Every time we see a Fiat 1100 or 1200 TV Spider for sale in the US, we wonder what the tortuous path that led it to the other side of the pond may have been. In this case, the owner’s first name seems Italian so it is also probable that this car came to California… Read More Totally open: 1957 Fiat 1200 TV Trasformabile
