For Sale: 1985 Fiat Ritmo in Katwijk, Netherlands

**The rich history of Fiat and the iconic Ritmo** When we talk about Italian automotive artistry, Fiat invariably emerges as one of the founding fathers. Ever since 1899, the marque has captured the hearts of car enthusiasts with its blend of design, engineering and passion. In the 1970s and '80s, Fiat was at its most creative, an era of experiment and style, of compact powerhouses brimming with character. And then, in 1978, along came the Fiat Ritmo: a revolutionary model that changed the streetscape with its rounded shapes, forward-thinking engineering and unmistakable Italian flair. The Ritmo was different, modern, playful, and functional all at once. When Fiat decided to build a convertible variant in the 1980s, it became an ode to freedom and dolce vita. The Fiat Ritmo Super Cabrio 100S was the crowning glory of that creativity, a rare model that combined the elegance of open-top motoring with the sporting flair of the Ritmo 100 series. Built in limited numbers and often finished by renowned coachbuilders, this version ranks today among the most sought-after Fiat classics ever made. **A unique Fiat Ritmo Super Cabrio 100S, as if time has stood still** The car standing before you is truly something special.
