Fiat Sports Cars From 1945 to the X1/9

Fiat, since 1945, has been a prolific manufacturer of sport cars. For every MGB or Triumph TR3, Austin Healey Sprite or Morgan Plus 4, there has been a contemporary and competitive product from Fiat. This publication is logically constructed with ten chapters - each one covering a suitable series of cars, in the following breakdown: 1100S and Trasformabile 8V — the engineer's toy 1200S and Oscas 2300S Coupe 850 Coupe and Spider 124 Spider and Coupe Dino — the Maranello connection 128s — the front-drive coupes 130 Coupe — speed with dignity X1/9 — mid-engined elegance Add to this, five appendices which sort out the 124 Abarth, the Ferrari and Fiat co-operation, the Fiat powered Lancias in the 1970s Monte Carlo, Beta Coupe, HPE, Rallye, the Stratos (Fiat money) and the Fiat turbine car. All the above have 'classic' car following, none before have been properly analysed for those enthusiasts, at least not as part of an overall Fiat sports cars story. If any doubt remains just look at the technical and styling variety of the above list and see if any other manufacturer anywhere in the world can match it…you may find they cannot.
