==1200 Cabriolet==
Pininfarina had shown a similar, OSCA-powered convertible called the Fiat-OSCA 1500 GT at the 1958 [[Turin Motor Show]].<ref name=MK41>[[#MK717|Hudek]], p. 41</ref> Production models received the same 1221 cc [[Overhead valve engine|OHV]] engine as the earlier 1200 TV Trasformabile/Spider, albeit somewhat more powerful, with {{convert|59|CV|kW|0|abbr=on}}. The two-seat 1200 Cabriolet also retained the chassis of the 1200 TV Trasformabile. Front suspension is independent with coil and wishbone, combined with a live, leaf sprung rear axle.<ref name=RM1/> The first units built of the 1200 Cabriolet came without separate wind deflector windows in the doors and without side indicators in the front fenders, but those details were added after a few months of production.<ref name="sannia">{{cite book |first=Alessandro |last=Sannia |title=Fiat 1200-1500-1600S, 1959-1966 |publisher=Il Cammello |year=2013 |page=22 |language=it}}</ref>
