1963 Fiat 750 Vignale Spyder
Coachwork by Carrozzeria Vignale
Chassis no. 1484476

• Rare coach built Fiat
• Based on the Fiat 600 D
• First registered in Milan

One of the most illustrious of Italian coachbuilders, Carrozzeria Vignale of Turin was founded in 1948 by Alfredo Vignale, whose career had begun pre-war with a successful design on the FIAT Topolino chassis. Enzo Ferrari's favoured coachbuilder during Maranello's formative years, Carrozzeria Vignale also designed and built cars for Lancia and Maserati among others, and in the 1960s branched out into automobile manufacture in its own right. By this time Vignale was turning out some 1,000 bodies a year, necessitating its relocation to larger premises at Grugliasco, not far from FIAT's factory at Mirafiori, Turin. Styling maestro Giovanni Michelotti was responsible for many of Vignale's designs of this period.

FIAT chassis formed the basis for many of Vignale's more popular models, including this 750 Spyder, which is based on the FIAT 600 D. The car was registered in the name of its first owner, a resident of Milan, on 8th May 1963. In 1968 it changed hands, this time passing to a lady owner, again a resident of Milan. She kept the car until 1987 when it was purchased by another lady, again in the same city.

It is most attractively finished in red with a black hood and black seats, while the door cards have been personalised at some point and are finished in white and black. This most elegant small convertible, styled by one of Italy's foremost coachbuilders, has obviously been well restored at some point in its life. It comes complete with its original Italian libretto; a FIAT Certificate of Origin (referring to the car as a FIAT 600 D, which it is based on); and an original Vignale sales brochure. The car was recently serviced and has passed the Italian "Revisione", the Italian road worthiness certificate.

La Carrozzeria Vignale est l'une des carrosseries italiennes les plus réputées. Située à Turin, elle fut fondée en 1948 par Alfredo Vignale, dont la carrière avait débuté avant-guerre avec la conception d'un modèle populaire réalisé sur le châssis de la FIAT Topolino. La Carrozzeria Vignale était la maison préférée d'Enzo Ferrari durant ses années de formation à Maranello. Elle a également conçu et construit des voitures pour Lancia et Maserati, entre autres, et s'est aussi lancée dans la fabrication automobile à part entière dans les années 1960. À cette époque, Vignale produisait environ 1 000 carrosseries par an, ce qui l'a conduite à déménager dans des locaux plus vastes à Grugliasco, non loin de l'usine FIAT de Mirafiori, à Turin. Le maestro du style Giovanni Michelotti fut responsable de nombreux dessins pour Vignale à cette période.

Les châssis FIAT ont servi de base à de nombreux modèles populaires de Vignale, dont cette 750 Spyder, dérivée de la FIAT 600 D. La voiture a été immatriculée au nom de son premier propriétaire, un résident de Milan, le 8 mai 1963. En 1968, elle a changé de propriétaire, passant cette fois entre les mains d'une résidente de Milan. Celle-ci l'a conservée jusqu'en 1987, date à laquelle elle a été acquise par une autre femme, toujours dans la même ville.

Cette voiture se distingue par sa grande élégance, avec sa finition rouge, sa capote et ses sièges noirs. Les panneaux de porte, quant à eux, ont été personnalisés après la construction de la voiture et présentent aujourd'hui une finition blanche et noire. Cette petite décapotable très raffinée, conçue par l'un des plus grands carrossiers italiens, a manifestement été restaurée avec soin à un moment de son histoire. Elle est livrée avec son livret italien d'origine, un certificat d'origine FIAT (faisant référence à la FIAT 600 D sur laquelle elle est basée) ainsi qu'une brochure

Vignale d'origine. La voiture a récemment été révisée et a passé avec succès la « Revisione », le contrôle technique italien.
