If you had pots of money in the early 1970s, but you wanted something fast and discreet, you bought a Jaguar. Or maybe a BMW if you wanted to be unpredictable. What you almost certainly wouldn’t do was buy a Fiat 130 coupe, which cost almost as much as a Ferrari 246GT, which is why it’s no wonder that in a production run which lasted from 1970 all the way through to 1977, a mere 4294 examples were built. Most of which have since dissolved.
Pininfarina also came up with a fabulous two-door estate version of his coupd, plus a four-door saloon, but even Fiat wasn’t bonkers enough to sanction their production.
The 130 saloon was Fiat’s flagship model. Launched in 1969, it would provide the basis for the 130 coup4, which was designed and built by Pininfarina.
