1963 Fiat 1200 Cabriolet
Highlights
- Highly original and beautifully preserved
- MOT valid until 2029
- From what we have been told, the car drives very well
The plus
While Fiat's first post-war models were relatively simple family cars designed to get Italy back on its feet, by the late 1950s the company was able to experiment with more premium models. The Pininfarina-designed 1200 cabriolet was one such creation. With its ravishing two-seater body and, of course, its folding roof, it was one of the prettiest cars of its time.
This 1963 example is remarkably original and in excellent overall condition. The seller assures us that it drives well, offering the car with a Technical Inspection valid until April 2029. For those looking for a rare roadster, this is an opportunity not to be missed.
