The Fiat 850 is one of those compact classics that proves small cars can have big personality. Produced from 1964, it evolved from the Fiat 600 but gained a stronger rear mounted engine, sharper styling and a surprisingly roomy cabin for its size. Available as a saloon, coupé and Spider, the 850 appealed to drivers who wanted economical motoring with a little Italian flair. Its light weight, nimble steering and rear engine layout made it entertaining around town and on winding roads, while its simple mechanical design means it remains approachable for enthusiasts today.

The Bertone styled 850 Spider is arguably the most famous version, with its low nose, neat proportions and open top charm earning it a loyal following around the world. In period, the 850 also became a popular base for tuning houses such as Abarth, who transformed humble Fiats into lively small performance cars. That motorsport connection adds extra character to an already charismatic model, and explains why the 850 is still admired at classic car gatherings.
