THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

This charming and rare FIAT 600 is among a reported approximately 100 examples made by Carrozzeria Viotti of Turin, Italy. Founded by Mr. Vittorio Viotti, Carrozzeria Viotti was in business from 1921 through 1964 and made elegant coachwork for many prominent Italian manufacturers including Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and of course FIAT. Several noted Italian car designers learned and worked at Carrozzeria Viotti, including Pietro Frua and Mario Rivelli.

For the FIAT 600 platform, the Viotti-bodied model featured tasteful and elegant additions to the interior and exterior trim by the coachbuilder, as well a slightly different body shape. Styling cues include twin beltline moldings on each side, chrome-plated bumpers, and a louvered rear engine cover. Acquired by the consignor in Italy serval years ago, the Viotti-bodied FIAT 600 was imported to the United States in December 2019. Much restoration work has been carried out in recent years, including a repaint. The interior was refinished in 2020 and features two-tone light blue and ivory upholstery, gray carpets, and a blue-painted dash. The suspension is the stock FIAT 600 layout and consists of transverse double-mounted leaf springs on the front and independent coil-over shocks the rear. 13-inch steel wheels are fitted with knock-off-style hubcaps and are mounted on 155/70 Firestone tires.

Finished in a charming 'Smurf Blue' exterior color, the Carrozzeria Viotti touches are swiftly apparent. Color scheme aside, the additional chrome trim and elegant custom grill give away that this is something different and special before the Viotti badges on the front fenders confirm one's suspicions. It does appear, that the engine has been replaced with another unit at some point in time. This fun, compact and enjoyable FIAT 600 Viotti Coupe is a fine vehicle on its own. Add in the addition of the rare, Viotti touches and this special example is one not to be missed. 'La Dolce Vita' on four wheels indeed.
