Fiat OTAS

[VideoNasty]

just wondering how many people have ever heard of this fairly rare car based on the fiat 850 chassis?
my father owns one that is is rough but restorable condition and most anyone that i have ever spoken to looks a bit lost when talk of the OTAS comes up

An old boss of mine has/had an OTAS. It needed running gear, but was otherwise complete. Interesting little car.

The OTAS was produced for a few years late 60's early 70's

They remind me of tiny De Tomasso Pantera's, when I say tiny, I stand 5'7" the roof line of mine comes about to my belly button. The dugout for the seat dips BELOW the rockerpanel. I have to almost get on my hands and knees to enter the thing! But its such a rare little car, I wouldn't trade it for anything. And if you really wanna see it dwarfed, park it next to a 75 Suburban.

The Abarth Scorpione used the same basic body but with a 1300cc motor and a front radiator much like the Abarth 1300/124.
