Vignale 850 Berlina

The Vignale 850 Berlina was the two-door saloon of the Vignalina series that the Turin coachbuilder Carrozzeria Vignale showed at the Turin Motor Show of 1964, the year Fiat introduced the 850. Vignale presented three proposals on the new chassis, this two-door saloon, a 2+2 coupe and a spider, as successors to the Fiat 600 based cars and heirs to their Vignalina nickname. The bodies were designed by Virginio Vairo, with sketches by Alfredo Zannellato based on drawings by Giovanni Michelotti. The Vignalinas were built from 1964 to 1969 in four series, and the guide counts 4,000 of the two-door Berlina against 5,000 coupes and 1,000 spiders. The carrozzieri-italiani.com guide gives the Berlina a length of 3,650 mm, a width of 1,460 mm and a height of 1,320 mm, and prices the base Berlina and coupe alike at 895,000 lire. The Dutch dealer Kucarfa likewise lists a two-door Berlina among the Vignalina models sharing the 850 wheelbase and mechanical base.
