Fiat
1600 S Coupé (Fissore)

Why it matters

Carrozzeria Fissore's coupe on the OSCA-engined Fiat 1600 S platform, introduced at the 1962 Turin show. The first four cars had a divided rear window; the later cars have a single-piece rear glass and four headlamps.

How rare is it?

Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.

Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

Fissore built about 22 coupes and one spider between late 1962 and early 1964 in Savigliano, according to one listing; Bonhams quotes the Italian Car Register for fewer than 25 bodies of all variants. In 1963 the front was changed to four headlights with altered bumpers, and the split rear window was dropped.
