Chassis #1153-530 — Base Fiat 850
This German-registered S1 is shown in a workshop during what appears to be an ongoing restoration. The rear view of the car, finished in white primer or possibly its original white paint, reveals the distinctive S1 rear end treatment with its large round taillights, louvered engine cover, and chrome bumper.
The body shell appears to be in solid condition, with the panels showing clean lines. The car has been stripped of its interior and some trim for restoration work. The workshop setting suggests a careful, methodical approach to the restoration process. This is one of several Sportivas that found their way to Germany, where they have been appreciated by enthusiasts familiar with the similar-sized but very different Volkswagen-based sports cars of the era.
