The seller offers for sale this 1969 Fiat 850 S, powered by an 843 cc four-cylinder engine, paired with a manual transmission. This Berlina, known internally as the Tipo 100 G, is presented in good condition and in running order, with its original mechanicals and bodywork retained. According to the seller, the car was refurbished and completely repainted in 2019 in its original colour. On 20 August 2019 it was officially classified as a vehicle of historic interest and entered into the A.S.I. register, the Automotoclub Storico Italiano, confirming its status as a recognised Italian classic. The light blue paintwork over a warm tan interior gives this little saloon a wonderfully authentic period charm.
Launched in 1964, the Fiat 850 continued the successful rear-engined formula of the Fiat 600, offering compact dimensions, clever packaging and lively character in an affordable package. The 850 S version brought a welcome increase in power from its enlarged 843 cc engine, giving the light saloon a surprisingly eager temperament. The 850 family became a cornerstone of Italian motoring in the 1960s, spawning coupé, spider and van variants, and today the Berlina represents an increasingly rare sight on the road, as most examples disappeared from daily use decades ago.
With its honest specification, historic certification and originality, this 850 S offers an accessible and characterful entry into classic Italian car ownership. Small rear-engined Fiats of this era are celebrated for their charming driving experience and mechanical simplicity, and this example, complete with its A.S.I. registration, is well placed to be enjoyed at classic events and on Sunday drives alike.
