Fiat - Fiat 850
The rear engine Fiat 850 was based on the platform of the Fiat 600 and available from 1964. For 1965 the Guigaro designed Bertone Spider arrived, which was the kind of Italian equivalent of the MG Midgets and Sprites. The 850 was available in Spider and Coupe bodywork. For 1968 the bodywork was revised with vertical headlights and disc brakes. The Fiat 850 was built until 1974.
The Fiat 850 Sport (also called Fiat 850 Special) models were all fitted with 13" wheels fitted in period with the 145R13 tyre size. We would recommend our superb steel belt construction Blockley 145R13 tyre, which also has authentic period tread pattern. The Fiat 850 Coupe and 850 Spider were fitted with the slightly larger 155R13 tyre size. For those wanting a non standard and wider (but same diameter) tyre we also make the 175/70R13 tyre size. These Blockley tyres will transform the handling of these Fiats, guaranteed - see full details of these exceptional tyres at the links below:
