Why it matters
The Eden Roc is a Pinin Farina beach-car conversion of the Fiat 600 Multipla, the six-seat people carrier Dante Giacosa designed. FCA Heritage calls the Multipla the first mass-produced people-carrier; the page does not discuss the Eden Roc version.
How rare is it?
Six separate kinds of rarity – never combined into one number.
Each kind of rarity is rated separately and never combined.
02Production & history
Production
Every figure says what it counts.
| What is counted | Figure | Basis | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total model productionEden Roc built | 31 | Factory production | Independently researched |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The Multipla base car debuted at the Brussels Motor Show in January 1956. It used the 600 mechanicals, with the engine just behind the rear axle, and a cabin extended over the whole front of the car.
A 1960 update brought the "D" version. Cached FCA Heritage pages give no facts about the Eden Roc body, its builder or its build number.
