The Appeal

Irresistably smart, compact and swift on the road, the 850 Spider is a sportier version of Fiat's legendary coupe, uprated to match its high-speed lines while maintaining the driver's close contact between car and road. The 2nd generation of these only improved things further with the bigger, more capable 903cc I4 powerplant - replacing the original 843cc engine.

his particular 1972 example stands out due to its restoration, carried out by a knowledgeable mechanic. The restoration process has been meticulously documented with photos and invoices, ensuring transparency and confidence in the quality of work done.

The car's striking yellow paintwork, paired with a newly renewed black fabric soft top, really suits those retro lines, while the overhauled 903cc 4-cylinder engine and revised 4-speed manual gearbox promise plenty of fun on the road.
