AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

IN RISALTO
- Equipped with Federperiti Conformity Guarantee expertise
- Delivery mileage
- Rare version built in Sardinia by ORSA on the SIATA production line
- Only 147 km from new, never registered
- Completely original including first paint
- Equipped with CRS and homologation plate (COC) for registration

STORIA/PANORAMICA
The Siata 850 “Spring,” known as a derivative of the Fiat 850 Sport Coupé, was created with the aim of offering a compact, sporty-sounding car with striking design while keeping the simple and reliable mechanics of the 850 series. Orsa – acronym for Officine Realizzazioni Sarde Automobili – was established later in Sardinia where the production lines were sold after Siata’s failure, which had launched the spider in 1967. Based on Seat 850 components, total production did not exceed one hundred units due to the oil crisis.

This rare specimen is one of the very last products and has never been registered: it was sold in the area for use within a tourist complex and today it is completely original and has travelled only 147 kilometers.

EXTERIOR
The external paint is still factory-original, preserved with a few localized corrosion points as visible in the photos. The external chrome is present, correctly applied, and a polishing and detailing treatment has just been completed.

The underbody is completely original and well-preserved over time, generally solid.

INTERIOR
The interior is completely original. The dashboard is complete with the three analog instruments in the center and its original steering wheel; all details are present.

MECHANICS
Mechanically the car has an original SEAT 843cc engine based on the Fiat 850 Series 100, which has recently been restarted after a long period in storage. The gearbox is functioning as is the clutch, gears shift correctly; however, routine maintenance (e.g., brake inspection) is required after the long idle period for road use.

A unique opportunity for a vehicle with new-era “delivery mileage”, collectible.

Disclaimer

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
