Towards the end of the 1950s, however, they were uncompetitive with sports cars such as Alfa Romeos, and so Fiat decided to create a spider with a more elegant and European taste. The new spider, with bodywork designed by Pininfarina, presented at the 1959 Geneva Motor Show, was christened the '1200 Cabriolet' but was a true two-seater spider. It was such a commercial success that it immediately became the most popular Cabriolet in Italy, recording sales of over 15, 000 units from March 1959 to March 1963.
