Fiat 600 and 850 Gold Portfolio 1955 - 1972

By: Brooklands Books .

The Fiat 600, announced at the Geneva Show in 1955, was a four-seater within the same overall dimensions as the popular 500.
The Multipla announced in 1956 replaced the earlier estates and accommodated not fewer than six people in a vehicle less than a foot longer than the basic 600.
The third baby in the range was the slightly larger 850 with two delightful variants, the 850 coupe and the Bertone-styled 850 Spyder. Engine capacity and power were increased in 1969.
The Multipla ceased production in 1966, the 600 in 1970 and the 850s in 1974.
