The Fiat 850 Daino Spider by Carrozzeria Boneschi.
The Fiat 850 Daino (fallow deer which is the Boneschi mascotte of its logo) was a Fiat 850 Spider Daino presented at the 1964 Turin Motor Show based on the small Fiat 850 chassis. Proposal for a possible small series production. It gave continuation of the Linea Tesa design concept with a slender side profile.
At the turn of the 60s, Carrozzeria Boneschi, together with the designer Rodolfo Bonetto, gave life to a stylistic movement called “Linea Tesa”. As the name suggests, this design style features knife edged lines and clean cuts, in contrast with the trends of the time. This bravery shown by Carrozzeria Boneschi was not rewarded by success, but it was somehow a precursor of the 70s and 80s style.
