1967 Fiat Siata Auto Spider 850 - Yellow - Unregistered Barn Find - 100cc Inline-4 Manual
Overview
This is a genuine 1967 Fiat Siata Auto Spider 850, a rare Italian lightweight sports car from the golden age of affordable motoring. The Siata brand was Fiat's answer to the market for nimble, fun-to-drive open-air vehicles, and the 850 Spider represents the final chapter of that story before Fiat consolidated the nameplate. With its diminutive 100cc naturally aspirated inline-4 petrol engine and three-pedal manual transmission, this is authentic period motoring in its purest form, unencumbered by modern complexity. The compliance plate confirms original Fiat 100G engine specification (engine number 100G002), and the right-hand drive configuration indicates this vehicle was destined for the British or Commonwealth market.
This particular example is a true barn find, unregistered and unrestored, presenting as a time-capsule snapshot of a vehicle that has been stored for many years. The yellow exterior finish, once bright and cheerful, now shows the patina of age and storage, with extensive paint cracking and peeling across the bonnet, roof, and body panels. The convertible hood is deteriorated with multiple tears and evidence of water ingress. The interior is heavily worn throughout, with cracked steering wheel, discoloured and cracked dashboard, and faded upholstery consistent with decades of storage. Rust perforation is visible on door panels and lower body sections, with floor pan rust-through in multiple locations. Chrome trim is heavily oxidised and pitted. The engine bay shows surface rust and age-related corrosion typical of long-term storage. Tyres are perished and flat-spotted. This is a project vehicle requiring comprehensive restoration, but the mechanical integrity of the original Fiat 100G engine and manual gearbox remain intact.
For the enthusiast restorer or collector of Italian microcars, this Siata represents a genuine opportunity to preserve a piece of automotive history. The 850 Spider is increasingly recognised by collectors as a significant design and engineering achievement, and original unmodified examples are becoming scarcer. At the current market for classic Italian sports cars, a fully restored example of this rarity would command strong interest. This barn find offers the chance to undertake a sympathetic restoration while retaining all original specifications and character.
