French collector's title
During the second half of the 1950s, the Turin giant decided to rejuvenate its 1200 Trasformabile cabriolet and entrusted the design to the Italian coachbuilder: Pininfarina. Pininfarina designed a spider with classic but elegant lines, in keeping with the European taste of the time. Fiat kept the mechanical base of its 1200 Trasformabile with its famous 1,221 cc engine that also equipped its 1200 saloon and the Simca Aronde, developing 59 bhp. Produced from 1959 to 1966, the Fiat 1200 underwent several restylings of the front end as well as new engines. Following the success of this model, and two years after the launch of its 1300/1500 saloon cars, Fiat introduced a version equipped with a 1,500 cm3 engine in 1963 and offered the powerful 1500 S Cabriolet. The 1500 S model is recognisable by its different grille and wider air intake. The 1500 version was equipped with drum brakes, the 1500S version received disc brakes as standard
disc brakes as standard from the end of 1961.
The model we are presenting to you left the Fiat factory in 1962. It is a very nice 1200 convertible with the 1500 engine. The car is in a very nice general condition. The engine is running well, the red leather of the seats does not show any major tear or other damage. The exterior paintwork, redone several years ago, shows some defects due to time. We had the opportunity to drive the car and can attest to the good working order of the engine. The mechanical sound it makes is very pleasant. The engine has torque and the gearbox works well. This little Fiat convertible is the ultimate pleasure car. Equally at home on a Sunday drive or on a tourist rally, it will give you as much pleasure as it gave us during our test drive. You can also take advantage of the rear seat to bring your children with you!
