(1961 - 1968)
Car articles about Fiat 1800 B by year
The 1800 from the Turin-based manufacturer had already gained a foothold in the German market by the end of the 1950s. The saloon impressed with its extensive and functional equipment, a modern trapezoidal body and a lively engine that bore the signature of former Ferrari chief engineer Aurelio Lampredi. In 1961, Fiat revised its mid-range car and created the 1800 B, which was equipped with disc brakes and other modifications. This article reproduces the original test report from that time and shows the saloon in many historical pictures and sales material.
While the competitors in the mid-range only offered mundane four-cylinder engines, Fiat offered its customers a smooth six-cylinder with the 1800 B. The 1.8-liter engine was refined, quiet and easy to rev. Only its own temperament could quickly become the six-cylinder's undoing. This article reproduces a test report from the Motor-Runschau of 1962 and reveals what the testers scribbled on the clipboard at the time.
