Green Barchetta: 1950 Fiat 750 Sport by Casarotto
The Fiat Sport 750 “Casarotto” is a captivating blend of Italian craftsmanship and racing heritage. Crafted in 1950 by the Venetian artisan Luca Casarotto, this unique vehicle stands out with its aluminum body constructed on a tubular frame derived from the Fiat 500 C chassis. The craftsmanship reflects the rich Italian tradition, with Casarotto, a second-generation artisan, reinterpreting the…

1953 Siata 208S Spider
Siata is an acronym for Società Italiana Auto Trasformazione Accessori, the Turin-based firm founded in 1926 by Giorgio Ambrosini, and which ceased production in 1970.
Much like Abarth, Siata developed its business by manufacturing performance parts for Fiat, gaining greater exposure after World War II as motorsport came back to the fore in Europe and the Americas. As 750 cc-powered race cars grew in displacement, Siata-modified vehicles gained prominence and the attention of stateside racers like Briggs Cunningham and Ernie McAfee. The latter was a Los Angeles–based importer who drove one of the first Siata-enhanced examples in the 1953 Carrera Panamericana race.
Fiat, meanwhile, had developed a 2.0-liter V-8 engine for its luxury sports car, the Otto Vu. While only 49 examples of that model were constructed, there remained additional Fiat V-8 engines that were acquired by Siata to power its new 208S Spider, unveiled in 1952. Only 33 examples were bodied by Carrozzeria Rocca Motta, of Turin, from 1953 to 1955. The car was not only powerful for its day, but supremely beautiful.
Designed by Giovanni Michelotti, these perfectly proportioned roadsters defined the iconic look of the era’s rugged sports cars. Equally stunning was the 208 CS, a coupe version of which only 18 were made, 11 bodied by Balbo and seven by Stabilimenti Farina. Topped with twin Weber carburetors and tuned by Siata, Fiat’s 2.0-liter OHV alloy V-8 engine develops more than 125 hp at 6,000 rpm, which is good enough to give the car a top speed of nearly 125 mph.

Little scorpion: 1956 Fiat 750 Coupé "Derivazione Abarth" by Viotti
Another day, another Fiat, but once again we are talking about a very special and very rare model.
Very special as it is one of the very few (probably a hundred, but it is almost impossible to have a certain number, so we are talking about orders of magnitude) Fiat 600 Viotti in the coupé version (Viotti also produced the Granluce version). Besides being rare in its own right, the seller says…
