The launch of the Fiat 850 Spyder was at the Geneva motorshow in March 1965. With upgrades along the way the model lasted until 1973. The main designer was Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone and he created a very pretty Italian sportscar, It combined smooth elegance in the body design with good functionality having a hood that disappeared completely into a space in the rear body in front of the engine. The large round headlights and the sleek shape helped to make the car very popular both in Europe and the USA.

This is an excellent example of the relatively rare MG TF1500. The car is an older restoration having been fully rebuilt in the late 80s. In 2000 the engine was subjected to a further rebuild by the respected firm Brown and Gammons Ltd at a cost of over £7,000. Since then it has done little mileage covering around 6,000 miles in total and in fact in recent years the car as had very little usage covering just 1,000 miles during the last 12 years or so. The car has been very well preserved with good paint and chrome work. The interior is showing its age, but remains rip free and is perfectly presentable. The dashboard is excellent and the Mota Lita steering wheel sets the cabin off well. Full wet weather gear including the side screens and a tonneau come with the car. The valuable registration number of 133 TF is also included in the sale.
