I made, years agoo, a blog about Jaeger Italia without hardly knowing anything about this marriage. I recently bought some documentation, so time for an update.
Jaeger had allready in 1927 an dealer in Italy: the firma G. Corbetta in Milano.
This add is for motobikes and I think from begin 50ies.
in an 1964 brochure I found this picture: at that time it was called Spa Italiana Jaeger and had a different adres (probably headquaters) : in a street close to the centre of Milan in an 15 century monastry! I can't find any pictures of that.
Here an "listino" from 1962
The Corbetta company has 2 branches from 1965 on: Jaeger and Jaeger Italia. Possible Jaeger Italia has the same construction as in Spain with Artes and was a joint venture.
The company had still the same adress, but it is called f.lli Corbetta now.
In the pricelist of Corbetta of 1968, there is some information about tableau's in Italy.
There were tableau's available, according to the list, for: Renault 8, 8 junior, R10 and R16! And further for a lot of Fiat Abarth and Simca 1150 Abarth. Striking is the difference in the prices for the tableau's. For the Fiat and Abarth the prices are more than 30% lower compared tot the ones for the Renault.
The only documentation with picture I haved found is for the Fiat Abarth 850, very nice!
