The Fiat 850 Spider was Bertone's stylish, rear-engined convertible based on the humble 850 sedan. Penned by a young Giorgetto Giugiaro, its design was a triumph, packing a lot of Italian charm into a tiny footprint. Initially powered by an 843cc inline-4, the engine was upgraded to a more potent 903cc unit in 1970 for the renamed 850 Sport Spider, which also received revised styling with upright headlights to meet US regulations.
Collectors are drawn to the 850 Spider for its pure, unfiltered driving experience and attractive design. It's a simple, lightweight roadster that offers open-air fun without the high cost of entry or maintenance associated with more exotic Italian classics. Its accessibility makes it a popular choice for enthusiasts looking for their first vintage European car. The car's diminutive size and cheerful character make it a standout at any car show.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the number one enemy. Thoroughly inspect floor pans, rocker panels, wheel wells, and the areas around the lights.
- The water-cooled engine is prone to overheating. Check the cooling system for leaks, corrosion, and proper fan operation.
- Gearbox synchros, especially on 2nd gear, are a known weak point. Listen for grinding during test drives.
- Convertible tops can be leaky and expensive to replace. Check the fabric for rips and ensure the frame operates smoothly.
- Interior trim and small exterior parts can be difficult to source. Check for completeness and originality.
