Available for auction is this restored 1958 Fiat 1200 TV Spyder finished in red over a black leather interior with white piping. Created as a more powerful answer to the 1100 TV Spyder, the 1200 TV Spyder debuted in 1957 and featured the 1.2L four-cylinder engine, which sent up to 55 HP to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. This example was a long-term one-owner car until being purchased by a collector in New York, who reportedly oversaw a full restoration. It is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Massachusetts.
This Fiat is finished in red and rides on its original chrome rims dressed in BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial Wide Whitewall tires from 2017. As part of the restoration, the car was repainted, the rims were refinished, the undercarriage was refinished and rust-proofed, new exterior chrome was applied, and a new canvas top replaced the old example. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The restored interior is complete with new out-swinging black leather seats, door panel trim, dash trim, roof trim, chrome brightwork, carpeting, a Nardi steering wheel, and a retro-style Bluetooth radio with hidden speakers. Additionally, all of the rubber trim and molding have been replaced and all gauges, electronics, and accessories are reported to be working properly. The original steering wheel accompanies the sale.
This Fiat 1200 TV Spyder is powered by a 1.2L four-cylinder engine that sends up to 55 HP to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The restoration included an engine reseal, carburetor and brake booster rebuilds, new suspension, new wheel hubs, brake booster lines, and all new fluids. The seller notes that they replaced the battery and performed an oil change during the summer of 2022.
This sale will include a clean title, owner's manuals, a parts book, a spare tire, the original steering wheel, and several keys, including the original key fob.

@TubeGuy your right also like a mini Lancia Aurelia Spider definitely a rare Italian Beauty that you don’t see very often I love looking at it next to my Alfa Giulia Spider
Wow. Looks like a mini Maserati.
@Norman58 no I never checked that but I can tell you that the car always starts up on first turn and there are no leaks or smoke at all if you win the auction I can take to a shop for compression test before payment if you want
Do you happen to have compression readings on the motor?
Bid in the amount of $5,500
@mcorrallo I was told a good glass shop can do it but really dosent bother me glass is very nice otherwise and is not delaminated and rubber seals are new and perfect chrome as well there is a new one on ebay for 1k also
I bought a kit to remove window scratches that included an attachment to a power drill and it took FOREVER to reduce (not eliminate) a faint scratch. Perhaps there a professional method.
@mcorrallo yes it came like that def the original windshield but it’s not deep you can’t feel it w your nail told it could be polished out
Looks like a pretty nasty wiper scratch in the video.
Bid in the amount of $5,000
