Fiat 500............a proper one.

[Bish]

Well my Defender has now gone.........




And now replaced with this......which is just the greatest little car. Makes me laugh out loud every time I drive it and every journey is an adventure as EVERYONE stops to chat and take pictures etc. Great fun in London.........traffic jams are no problem, I just follow the cyclists (much to their annoyance I am sure!)

Fitted with a 650cc engine so goes OK and a synchro gearbox so much easier to drive.

Fantastic! Best looking car I've seen on here in ages. I have a pair of 850 barrels somewhere (in my shed).

love it!

my dad's business partner has one in need of a resto stored on top of a packing crate in their workshop. i keep trying to bargain him down to a price i can afford but despite it being there 4yrs he insists he 'needs' it.

Both cars very nice.

[Eviltad]

love it too. Want one myself. Keep saying I'm gonna get one for the missus, but thats a particularly nice looking example.

[10speeduk]

How do you get in it?

I sat in one at a Fiat open day and I had problems, then again I'm 6ft 4.

I love these cars, yours looks stunning and in great condition. Was in one at an abarth launch, took 3 salesmen to try and start it (couldnt figure out how to, they even went and asked an 'italian' ice cream man if he knew). Then let me try and i managed eventually, the lever start is very strange.

i want one .

Stunning little car!

[Beefmeister]

Talk about extremes!!!!

You've gone from the manliest car, to the girliest!!


Only joshing, they both look fantastic cars, you certainly know how to pick a good 'un.

Bet that 500 gets a few ladies interested!

[Pixel-Snapper]

Yet ironically the first is so manly it's a little "butch homo" and the second is so girly it's actually very hetro.

Lovely looking car, I'd love one.
