The 1958 Fiat 1200 Wonderful Coupe, chassis 388137, is a rare Vignale-built coachbuilt design by Giovanni Michelotti, produced in extremely limited numbers alongside a Turin Motor Show show car. Notable for its factory-fitted dual carburetors and a removable roof panel considered the first known post-war targa-top arrangement, the car underwent a thorough nut-and-bolt restoration completed in 2018 and was subsequently shown at the Concours of Elegance at Hampton Court Palace.
