The third series of the Sport Coupé was produced only in 1971/ 72 in very few examples, with even fewer still in circulation today.
Extremely rare, easily recognisable by its 4 identical-diameter front headlights.
It is equipped with a 903 cc 4-cylinder petrol engine producing 54 bhp (39 kW), paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive. With 44, 000 km indicated, it is also suitable for newly qualified drivers. No damage is reported and the MOT was carried out on 30 May 2025 at 43, 000 km.
The 53 bhp engine combined with roughly a thousand kilos of weight makes the car very lively and entertaining to drive, especially on mixed and scenic roads. Truly captivating!

This car was purchased out of passion for the Fiat 850, but now space is needed for other projects. It's a third series, extremely rare. Built only in 1971/ 72 in very few examples, today it is highly sought after. In fact, it was a transitional model awaiting the launch of the Fiat 128. Its distinguishing feature that made it appreciated by collectors is the engine enlarged to 903 cc with 53 bhp which, compared to its predecessor, offered more power and torque. Even today it is surprisingly entertaining to drive, weighing around a thousand kilos, and without electronics which, ultimately, always somewhat diminish the genuine connection with the road that here is real and delivers an authentic, vintage sensation. Certain to appreciate in value.
