Description from the seller
Fiat OSI 1200 S Coupé – 1966
We are offering for sale an exceptionally rare 1966 Fiat OSI 1200 S Coupé, one of the most exclusive Italian grand tourers of the 1960s. It was built by Officine Stampaggi Industriali (OSI) in Turin on Fiat mechanicals and designed by Giovanni Michelotti, one of Italy's most celebrated automotive designers.
Introduced in the mid-1960s, the 1200 S Coupé combined proven Fiat mechanicals with a body handcrafted by OSI. Its elegant, streamlined design, featuring a long hood, a low roofline and a fastback profile, gives the car a sporty, timeless character.
Production was extremely limited: just 70 examples in total, making this model exceptionally rare on today's international collector-car market. According to collectors' records and currently available information, approximately four examples are known to have survived, including the car offered here.
The car was first registered in 1967 and retains its original first-registration plates, a feature of particular interest to enthusiasts and collectors. In almost sixty years, it has had only three owners, all passionate admirers and connoisseurs of prestigious automobiles.
The car is registered with ASI and comes with a Certificate of Historical Significance (CRS), documentation certifying its historical and collector value.
Condition
From an aesthetic standpoint, the car is in good overall condition. The bodywork is well maintained and shows a few signs of age, entirely consistent with the vehicle's age and with a restoration carried out in the late 1980s. These imperfections do not detract from the car's excellent appearance.
The interior is original and well preserved. There are a few minor imperfections in the headliner and normal signs of use consistent with more than sixty years of life.
The mechanicals, derived from the Fiat 1200, are valued for their reliability, robustness and ease of maintenance.
Maintenance carried out
The car has recently undergone significant maintenance work, including:
Replacement of the brake master cylinder.
Engine oil and filter change.
Gearbox oil change.
Differential oil change.
Complete cleaning of the braking system.
Installation of a new stainless-steel exhaust system made by SS Competition.
The car is in perfect running order and can undertake long journeys, with the care naturally required for a historic vehicle over sixty years old.
Technical specifications

Additional information

The car can be viewed by appointment in central Reggio Calabria.
Thanks to its extremely limited production, prestigious design by Giovanni Michelotti, original plates, ASI certification, documented ownership history and recently completed maintenance, this Fiat OSI 1200 S Coupé represents a rare opportunity for collectors seeking an exclusive, elegant and hard-to-find model.
An ideal car both for adding to a prestigious private collection and for taking part in concours d'elegance, rallies and events dedicated to historic automobiles.
