Created as the successor to the 1100TV Spider, the 1200 TV Spider debuted in 1957 carrying popular Italian styling trends of the 1950s along with a more powerful 1.2-liter four-cylinder engine. Finished in red over a black interior, this example was a long-term one-owner car until being purchased by a collector in New York, who reportedly oversaw a full restoration. Previously listed on PCARMARKET, it is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Massachusetts.
This Fiat is finished in red and rides on its original chrome rims dressed in BF Goodrich Silvertown Radial Wide Whitewall tires from 2017. As part of the restoration, the car was repainted, the rims were refinished, the undercarriage was refinished and rust-proofed, new exterior chrome was applied, and a new canvas top was fitted. Detailed images are provided in the gallery.
The restored interior is complete with new out-swinging black leather seats, door panel trim, dash trim, roof trim, chrome brightwork, carpeting, a Nardi steering wheel, and a retro-style Bluetooth radio with hidden speakers. Additionally, the rubber trims and moldings are said to have been replaced and the original steering wheel will accompany the sale. All gauges and accessories are reported to be working properly.
This Fiat 1200 TV Spider is powered by a 1.2L four-cylinder engine that sends up to 55 HP to the rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission. The seller states an extensive restoration included resealing the engine, rebuilding the carburetor and brake booster, installing a new suspension system, wheel hubs, & brake booster lines, and changing all fluids. Additionally, the battery is said to have been changed along with an oil change in the summer of 2022.
This sale will include a clean title, owner's manuals, a parts book, a spare tire, the original steering wheel, and several keys, including the original key fob.

I can't resist making a nostalgic comment on this classic beauty. As a child I fell in love with sports cars even though there were none in my small MA town . Then I saw a TV Spider on the cover of R&T. I begged my father to buy that issue and I cherished my tattered copy for many years . What followed was decades of sports car ownership . Best of luck to seller and bidders!
@Rgmaria thank you never get tired of looking at her truly a beautiful design and no they work great the lever on the left side releases the swivel mechanism then locks when straight
Beautiful! Any issues with the swivel seats?
