Fiat 600 Spider Capri

Vehicle Overview

The Fiat 600 Spider Capri was unveiled by Carrozzeria Caprera at the 1959 Turin Auto Show, where it stood out as a stylish open-top vehicle alongside a sedan named Amalfi. Following its debut, the Capri generated considerable interest, leading Carrozzeria Caprera to put it into limited production in 1960, based on the Fiat 600D platform. The production version of the Fiat 600 Spider Capri featured slight design modifications from the prototype shown at the Turin Auto Show. Notable changes included alterations to the front design and smaller details such as the tail lights, which were refined for production. These adjustments ensured that the Capri retained its elegant aesthetic while meeting practical considerations for road use. Carrozzeria Caprera’s decision to produce the Capri was a testament to its appealing design and potential popularity. Although only a few specimens were made, the Fiat 600 Spider Capri remains a unique and charming example of Italian automotive design from the late 1950s and early 1960s. Its blend of stylish looks and the reliable Fiat 600D mechanics make it a coveted classic among collectors and enthusiasts.
