Fiat Balilla 508s Spider 1934


The Sport Spider 508 S was created by Carrozzeria Ghia from the Fiat Balilla chassis. It was made available to wealthy clientele for Italian events including the Mille Miglia.

The Balilla was available in two versions: The standard version had fully enclosed fenders while the “Coppa d’Oro” used smaller cycle fenders and a ligher chassis. Sometimes these later cars are refereed to as Type MM. The engine was also uprated to 43 bhp over the standard standard 36 bhp.
