European sports cars are very different from their American counterparts, especially those from Italy. Diminutive size, dinky engines, light weight, and a simple spirit are their key attributes. Take the Fiat 850 for example, a small rear-engined convertible sports car that could be had as a saloon, coupe, minivan, roadster (Spider) or van. Can you imagine that it weighed less than 1500lbs? What’s better, we’ve got one for sale in the shape of this 1969 Fiat 850 Spider that’s undergone a full restoration on its unibody construction. It’s the perfect anti-modern car for when you want to get away from large, hulking vehicles with their gas guzzling V8 engines and plethora of tech toys. Call it a digital detox if you will.
Exterior and Interior
Enjoying a production run from 1964 to 1973, the Fiat 850 Spider was designed by none other than the legendary Giorgetto Giugiaro when he was working for Bertone. This 1969 Fiat 850 Spider shows off his work in a lustrous red paintwork that the seller reports is a repaint. A new black canvas convertible top ensures that weather protection is up to scratch, while upgraded LED headlamps make short work of dark roads. The bumpers have been rechromed, the windshield is reportedly new, as are the wheels. The original wheels are available too, and all badging is present and correct. To give you an idea of how small this car is, the rim size is a mere 13-inches! Want more stats? Length is around 140 inches and width, a supremely maneuverable 56 inches. Of course, that means that the cabin is a snug affair for two, with a wood trimmed dash, two-spoke Fiat steering wheel, and a full set of gauges including a 120mph speedometer and tachometer. Climate control? Depends entirely on the weather you’re driving in. Music? Once again, entirely up to you. We did say this was the ultimate digital detox machine.
Engine
A hint to the engine capacity is in the name, and as such, this US-market 1969 Fiat 850 Spider packs a dinky 817cc (down from European models’ 843cc) high compression in-line four cylinder carbureted engine in its tail, that drives the rear wheels via a four speed manual transmission. Power was said to be around 45hp when new. This car has received a new carburetor, new belts and hoses, a new water pump, and new fuel pump. Some recent electrical work has been reported, and extra parts are available with the sale, including a spare steering wheel and engine seals.
The 1971 Fiat 850 Sport Spider was renowned for being cheap and fun to drive. Affordable and good-looking, this Fiat coupe with a rear engine and rear wheel drive system paved its way as the Porsche for much less. The initial iteration is reported to have not met great success when it was first introduced in 1965, but Fiat saw potential. In 1968, their engineers turned things around. The initial 843 cc 4-cylinder engine was enlarged to 903 cc, producing 52 horsepower. While the 850 Sport Spider may not be the fastest sports car, it's known for its excellent handling. Its RR layout enables light and responsive steering, with the independent suspension benefitted road-holding thanks to its modest power. This particular model we have today shares the same story; having clocked a mere 8,055 miles, the current owner has taken good care of this tiny roadster with new parts and upholstery. It is up to date on servicing and is included with the original manual.

The 1982 Pininfarina Spider 2000 Turbo represents a rare and fascinating chapter in Italian automotive history, blending classic roadster styling with early turbocharged performance. With just 20,875 miles, this example stands out as a well-preserved survivor from a time when turbocharging was still a novelty in sports cars. Unlike the standard Spider 2000, this variant features a turbocharger system developed by Legend Industries, making it a unique and limited-production offering. Finished in Cherry Red over a tan interior, it captures the timeless elegance of Pininfarina design while offering a more spirited driving experience than its naturally aspirated counterparts.
The 1983 Pininfarina Azzurra Spider 2000 is a charming Italian roadster that blends classic styling with engaging, analog driving dynamics. With over 135,000 miles, this example reflects a car that has been driven and enjoyed as intended, while still offering the timeless appeal that makes these Spiders so beloved. Built during the era when Pininfarina took over final production, the Azzurra Spider represents one of the last evolutions of this long-running platform. Its lightweight design, rear-wheel-drive layout, and manual transmission make it a true enthusiast’s car, ideal for those who appreciate a more connected driving experience.
The Fiat 500 Cinquecento is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant and emotionally resonant automobiles ever produced, even earning recognition from Top Gear as the sexiest car in the world. Few vehicles command such universal affection, and outside of Ferrari, few Italian cars attract as much attention in public settings as the Fiat 500. The 500 D variant, produced from 1960 through early 1965, represents the most desirable chapter of the Nuova lineage, distinguished by its rear-hinged suicide doors and full-length transformable fabric roof. These design elements were later discontinued due to social pressures of the era, making the D the most collectible configuration. This particular example, produced on February 28, 1962, benefits from exceptional provenance, having had only two owners before being taken off the road in 1987. Following a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration beginning in 2020 and subsequent mechanical re-engineering in the United Kingdom, this Fiat 500 D stands as a rare example that balances museum-grade restoration with real-world usability.
