1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider

Description for Fiat 850 1971

Life is too short to drive boring cars! Don’t you want to drive a Fiat 850 Spider this summer?

NOTE: This item was previously listed but somehow disappeared from the search availability feature. According to EBay personnel, this was a glitch in the EBay system. The auction was cancelled and the car is now relisted for sale. Very sorry for the inconvenience. I have never had this sort of problem with EBay, but it has now been corrected. Please bid again.

Thank you, and rev high!

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION

This beautiful metallic blue over black, freshly-restored 1971 FIAT 850 spider convertible, located in Montreal is ready and raring to take you and a friend out for a stylish ride in the sun! In great shape and lovingly restored to a very high standard, this gorgeous little machine drives as great as it looks.

DETAILS

This spider is In “Turn Key” condition and is an excellent car to bring to regional car shows, touring, and car club events.

This is a “Matching Numbers Car”, with over $18,000 (Canadian Dollars) invested in its restoration, not counting labour costs. The car runs as it should, and has been recently appraised as a “Condition 1.75” car. Virtually everything is either new or restored.

Originally from Calgary, Alberta (always a Canadian car), this beauty spent most of its 28,500 mile life in a salt-free environment, garage kept and free of rust prior to its recently completed restoration. This car was restored over a three-year period beginning in 2014 and only very recently completed. The903cc/52hp motor has been fully rebuilt, with less than 1000 miles since completion, and is equipped with the correct European Weber carburetor and air filter. Mechanically refreshed, with a new ANSA exhaust and new shocks, all mechanical systems, gauges and electrical components work as they should. Sporting shiny new chrome parts costing over $2,000, beautifully-stitched new seats and interior, and finished in an eye-catching blue metallic paint (applied to a well-prepared rust-free body - stripped to bare metal), the car presents very well for shows and outings.

Additionally, the car comes with additional parts, such as a NOS FIAT 850 original steering wheel, electronic ignition, and other miscellaneous parts worth well over $1000, including a rare, original black FIAT interior console. It also comes with its original tool kit.

If you are looking for a turn key, rear-engined Italian convertible to bring to events and enjoy on sunny days, HERE’s your car!

A video of the restoration is available on Youtube. Please feel free to call 514-771-9513 or email alfaromeodriveralex@gmail.com if you have any questions.
