Introduced in 1957, this minimalist, economical car, designed by Dante Giacosa, was a huge success: less than 3 meters long, yet still featuring four seats and a small 479-cc two-cylinder engine.
This Fiat was modified by “Carrozzeria Scioneri”, in Savillan in the Piedmont region. This was the smallest of the major Italian coachbuilders, which opened in late 1944 and closed in 2005 after making stylistic improvements to the Fiat 600, 500, Multipla, and virtually every model in the brand’s lineup, not to mention a few Lancias and Alfa Romeos, sometimes in collaboration with Michelotti.
This little Fiat was purchased in Genoa in 1966 by a woman born in 1911, as evidenced by its original service record and the Italian documents in the file. She kept it until her death, after which it passed to her son, who sold it to the current owner in 2016. He completely restored it. The bodywork was entrusted to Garage Tommy in Cannes, where the car was stripped down and the mechanical components and upholstery were fully restored to their original condition. The lower body line is accentuated by an aluminum trim strip and a gray accent strip, and the grille added by the body shop gives it a sportier look. This car has a clear provenance and, following a recent, meticulous restoration, retains the distinctive features and accessories added by the coachbuilder Scioneri.
