The Fiat 900T is a small van produced by the Italian automobile manufacturer Fiat^[1] between 1976 and 1985, replacing the similar Fiat 850T. It was sold in the UK as the Fiat Citivan.

It was available in a number of variants, including the 900E seven-seat minibus and 900E camper vans called Amigo and Pandora.

Specification

Fiat 900E minibus

The 900T was powered by a rear-mounted four-cylinder 903cc petrol engine, shared with the Fiat 127. In the 900T it produced 35 bhp (26 kW; 35 PS) @ 4,500rpm and 44.84 lb·ft (61 N·m) @ 3,300rpm.^[2]

The 900T was equipped with small 12" wheels and had a small turning circle of 29 ft 6.5 in (9.00 m). The van was fitted with drum brakes all-around.

Fiat didn't produce pickups at the time so 3rd party coach builders such as the well-known Zagato, Viotti, Sata e Ghia e specialists like Fissore, Moretti, Orlandi, Vignale, Coriasco e Pasino, would purchase 900T vans from the Fiat factory and convert them into campers and pickups similar to the VW versions. These companies cut away the rear body and added panels as needed to complete the conversion and then re-sprayed the original color. Coriasco and Fissore stamped the rear of the body with their own vin number to the right of the original Fiat vin, which were then combined into one longer vin number on the title. The pickup version was very similar to the VW combi with raised rear bed, removable bed walls and large storage area accessible from either side underneath.
