When I hear Fiat 850, I think roadster. That and the Siata Spring are the only two 850 variants we’ve posted. The 850 was, however, offered in sedan, coupe, wagon and van variants, as well. Today’s subject car is the two-door sedan.
I really like this car for its quirkiness. Naturally, the driving experience would be all 850, which means not a lot of power. This one certainly appears to be in good shape, though it was once blue, which is obvious in a couple pictures and disclosed by the seller. The seller also mentions an ‘auto shift’ transmission – we’d like to know more about that…

This is a sedan due to the tiny, flat ‘trunk’ ledge, which is, of course, the engine cover. Coupes had more of a true fastback style.
You gotta love the front trunk with forward hinges.
Interior looks nice enough. The shifter is in the standard location, despite ‘auto shift’.
Access doesn’t look great here, all things considered, but the engine is tiny and pretty straightforward. I dig the exhaust pipe.
