Specialist Notes
Founded in Turin in 1926, Siata, an acronym for Società Italiana Applicazioni Tecniche Auto-Aviatorie, dedicated itself in the years between the two wars to the production of parts and spare parts for the development of automobiles, almost exclusively under the Fiat brand. Within a short time the company was already able to produce its own brand cars, always based on chassis and mechanics from the Turin giant. The first car branded S.I.A.T.A. it was the Amica, a small two-seater convertible, produced in two versions; the first called Amica 49 (1948-1949) with a tubular perimeter frame built in just 50 examples, the second called Amica 50 (1950-1952) with a steel box frame built in around 300 examples; both fitted the mechanics of the Fiat 500 "Topolino" with SIATA type "B" head, and designed by Mario Revelli de Beaumont. Our car, chassis n°ST214, is part of the second series. Completed on 30 June 1950 and registered in Milan on 12 July, it retains its original registration document and first registration plate. The car was prepared to participate in the Mille Miglia, of which it started three times in historical re-enactments. It is fitted with a prepared SIATA engine but is also sold with its original engine. It is in perfect condition. The setup includes an oversized oil sump, electric fuel pump and probes for the tripmaster.
