Vehicle details

Notes and observations recorded by Hagerty staff.

Equipment

1491/90hp, steel wheels with hub caps, locking filler cap, Nardi woodrim steering wheel, black cloth boot cover.

Condition

Lightly used but cleaned up and detailed engine bay. Excellent paint and chrome. Driver door fit is slightly off. Interior is excellent. Represented as a ground up restoration completed in 2015, it was announced on the block that it will need mechanical sorting prior to delivery, albeit at the expense of the consignor. The little Fiat 1200 Spiders were very attractive but never had much grunt. That issue was addressed by the 1,491 cc twin cam OSCA engine that this car features.

Market commentary

The OSCA name (and therefore the Maserati brothers) and Pininfarina bodywork are worth something and this was an almost immaculate car, but this result is more than an Alfa Giulia, which is quite a bit more car even if the Fiat is more rare -- or less common, if your glass is half empty. It should have been on its way to a new home at half this price.
