Car articles about Fiat 1200 Spyder by year
Around 50 years ago, five Fiat 1100/1200 S Barchetta with aluminum bodies were built in Italy, based on the sports car classics of the 1950s. Technically, they were based on the Fiat 1200 Spyder and its predecessor, the 1100 TV Transformabile. This report portrays one of the five well-known Fiat 1200 S Barchetta built in 1957, showing it in many pictures and its relatives in historical footage. The engine sound of the small sports car is a treat for the ears.
Fancy something other than an open-top Alfa Romeo? In the 1950s, Fiat offered a small sports convertible called the "Trasformabile", which is likely to cause a stir at many an Italian or classic car meeting today. The design was (presumably) by Fabio Luigi Rapi, who also gave the famous 8V "Otto VU" its timeless bodywork. This report tells the brief history of the Fiat 1200 TV Spyder and its close relative 1100 TV Trasformabile 2 Posti and shows it in many current and historical pictures, as well as in the sales brochure.
The predominant car on the roads of Germany, Austria and Switzerland in the early 1960s was the Volkswagen Beetle. Over the years, the Wolfsburg-based company had perfected it and made it better and more reliable step by step. However, a circle of competitors formed around Wolfsburg that were superior to the Beetle in terms of comfort, space, driving performance and economy ... and still lost out in the local market. This report characterizes the generation of thousands using the examples of the Austin Mini Cooper, DKW F12, Fiat 850, Ford Anglia, Morris 1100, Opel Kadett, Panhard PL17, Renault R8 and Simca 1000. The article is illustrated with over 120 archive photos and over a dozen original sales brochures.
