Ercole Spada

In his free time Ercole Spada developed a fun car based on the Fiat 500. He then took it to Zagato in order to win them over for the project. Zagato built a prototype and presented it to the public at the Turin Motor Show in 1969. In 1970 a further vehicle was built based on the Honda 360. All 3 projects were however not pursued any further.
