Why it matters
Vignale's 1964 range on the new Fiat 850 (two-door saloon, 2+2 coupe and spider) continued the "Vignalina" nickname of its Fiat 600-based predecessors. Of about 10,000 built over five years, only some 1,000 were spiders.
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 production850 Spider Vignale built | 1,0001,2 | Factory production | Registry reported |
Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.
History
The 850 arrived in 1964 as the natural evolution of the 600, with the same rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, a more powerful and larger four-cylinder engine and squarer lines. The cached FCA Heritage page is about the 1968 Fiat City Taxi prototype and says nothing about this coachbuilt 850.
