The rare thing about this FIAT 600D is the roll-up roof. It really is a roll-up roof, not a folding or sliding roof. The construction of the roof corresponds exactly to the version that was installed in the FIAT 600 with suicide doors from 1955 onwards. In Italy, around 400.000 FIAT 600D with "normal doors" were built between 1965 and 1969. Of these, only fewer than 500 are said to have been built as "Transformabile". The whole roof construction of the "Transformabile" differs from the opening roofs of the FIAT 600 Jagst or SEAT 770.
It is a pleasure to drive a car like this. The FIAT 600D is faster than the FIAT 500, has more torque and a proper heater thanks to the water cooling. Last but not least..... ……the sun also shines over the back seat.
The history:
This FIAT 600D "Transformabile" was delivered to the Swiss FIAT dealer PLATTNER in Basel in 1968. She was the senior managers car for 36 years. All papers and a logbook are available. Since 2005 she is part of our collection.
