The seller offers for sale a 1958 Fiat-Abarth 750 Zagato, a lightweight coupe featuring the iconic Zagato “double-bubble” roof design. Originally delivered to the United States, it was purchased by an Italian enthusiast in 2000 and returned to Europe for a meticulous four-year major restoration. The work included a complete mechanical overhaul, an engine rebuild, a bare-metal repaint, new glass and seals, and a refurbished interior with new seats and upholstery. The result is a high-standard car that presents beautifully and drives as it should, free from mechanical issues, smoke or noises, with a smooth-shifting gearbox. This rare and desirable Abarth offers a unique opportunity to acquire an outstanding piece of 1950s Italian automotive design.
The Fiat-Abarth 750 Zagato was one of the most celebrated collaborations between Fiat and the Milanese coachbuilder Zagato. Built on the Fiat 600 platform, it combined Abarth’s tuned engines with Zagato’s lightweight, aerodynamic bodywork. The result was a small but highly capable sports car that achieved success in motorsport and appealed to enthusiasts seeking exclusivity and style. The distinctive double-bubble roof not only improved aerodynamics but also increased headroom, becoming a hallmark of Zagato design. Today, surviving examples are highly collectible, admired for their design purity, racing pedigree and rarity. Owning one is considered a highlight of any serious Italian car collection.
