From the side and if you regard it, the bulges rear and especially in front are to notice very well. This comes from the basis, the 850 sedan. Since can not change even master hands. But otherwise it is well-done. Almost like a big convertible it has a hood box and optional a hardtop. Even the dashboard is redesigned to the saloon.

Not exactly cheap, but yet cheap compared to other convertibles. The engine that originate in principle from the fifties or earlier, rattles itself at a considerable speed level despite lateral camshaft and only three crankshafts bearings. However, he is then considered namely to be loud, but mechanically not particularly vulnerable. This can not be said of a possible attack with rust to the body, wherewith Fiat even is ranked at the time in the top flight of the mass producers.
