This Fiat 850 Sport Coupe is an appealing example of the charming classic Italian coupe, offered in solid condition and reported to be running well. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 903cc inline-four, producing around 38kW and driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The odometer indicates just over 86,000 km, however this is not warranted. This example has been with the seller for 18 months. This 850 Sport Coupe is presented in a handsome shade of red over a black vinyl and cloth-trimmed interior, featuring a black dashboard with wood veneer trim inlays, red carpets and punctuated by chrome trim accents. The car is originally believed to have been painted in cream as is evidenced by the paint on the inside of the engine bay. It rides on a set of 14-inch eight-spoke Lancia alloy wheels, shod in Bridgestone tyres. The specification includes a two-spoke steering wheel, manually operated windows, push-out front and rear quarter light windows, and a Hitachi radio. This 850 Coupe now features modern three-point retractable seatbelts. The car will be supplied with substantial invoices for maintenance and repairs undertaken since May 2022, totalling in excess of $10,000, as well as a ‘well thumbed’ workshop manual. Please note: the historic registration ‘31474J’ shown on the car is non-transferable, and the vehicle will be sold unregistered. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is evidence of past panel repairs on the front left hand mudguard. The paintwork is generally good, consistent in colour and shiny, with minor blemishes on the engine cover and under the front bumper. The vehicle was originally cream in colour and has been resprayed red everywhere except for in the engine bay. Inside the front seats have been re-covered in cloth, the rear seat is original vinyl in good condition. The dashboard top has splits. The most recent inspection of roadworthiness was in May 2023 during which the seller reports that no warnings or advisory items were noted. The latest service was carried out during in May 2023 by Automoda, Five Dock. The work comprised of an engine oil and filter change, along with the replacement of the clutch, transmission and engine mountings, various gaskets to cure oil leaks, the front discs and pads, and the brake master cylinder. The braking system was then bled with new fluid added, and some repairs were performed to the car’s electronics. Prior to this, the car was serviced previously by Automoda, which was another routine service with various small repairs and adjustments performed. This Fiat 850 Sport Coupe is a vibrant example of the marque’s alluring 1970s coupe, offered in presentable and very usable condition. It would make a solid addition to any collection of classics, and a characterful companion for weekend drives and visits to car shows alike.
