# History of Fiat 1200

> 1950 **Fiat 1100** Cabriolet ([Bonhams](https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/25219/lot/224/))
</div>

The [**Fiat 1200**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_1200) was produced between 1957 and 1961 in about 400,000 units. There are 3 distinct models, all based on the Fiat 1100 (see photo on the left **<**) :
**+** in 1957 the **1200 Granluce** (4 door),
**+** the **1200 Spyder** (2 door roadster),
**+** and the **Cabriolet** with a Pininfarina's coachwork.

***

In the 50's, Fiat offered small sport convertibles under the name of ***Trasformabile*** (convertible) which made them sound more exclusive. The [**Fiat 1200 Turismo Veloce Spider**](https://rmsothebys.com/en/auctions/az22/arizona/lots/r0021-1958-fiat-1200-tv-spider/) is the rarest *trasformabile* coachwork with only 2,350 examples hand built by ***Vetture Speciali***, the Fiat’s Special Vehicles department between 1957 and 1959.

The design was penned by [**Fabio Luigi Rapi**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luigi_Rapi) Italian automobile designer working for Fiat. Inspired by the Lancia Aurelia Cabriolet, Rapi also brought some American elements such as panoramic windows and rear spoilers.

# Specification
![line_hive.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/heroldius/xoycoMPQ-line_hive.jpg)

The **Fiat 1200 TV Spider** is equipped with 1,221-cc inline-four engine mated to four-speed manual transmission producing around **53 bhp**. With its low weight (960 kg), it was more than enough to have fun on the roads

![10.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/heroldius/Eou6rpAWLDDC1zc35nqPwcBVaEcFYRC3zTJsPS1bjmNvb6y7y6oX3Qb1fkxksszUmNw.jpg)

> I don't know with on the dashboard there is the Pininfarina signature. The Italian coachworker produced only the following version, the [Fiat Pininfarina Cabriolet](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_Pininfarina_Cabriolet). So if you have an idea...

This example was finished in ***triple black*** (black over black leather interior and black carpets). This model remained in the same family for 43 years. It was restored during more than 5 years (2011-2016) for more than **$US 60,000** (almost as expensive as the selling price, not always profitable to have a classic car).

**What do you think about this *trasformabile* ?** 
I find the car very attractive with this design, European style with a US touch.

Such a beautiful car. Didn’t know this model, so thanks for introducing 😊 I like the colour, it expresses sophistication. The back wings are just to finish the design.

That's a strange design for a roadster. It looks like it's trying to stand on its tiptoes to be taller.
