Old Fiat Sports Car

Hi Guys,

Managed to get a few pics of this parked up outside my hotel in Sorrento.

Degraded Fiat badge on the grill was the only ID.

What is it please ?

Cheers,
Dougie.

Topolino?

It's a Gamine, based on the 500

Based on the 500 Nuova from the 50s, rather than the 500 Topolino from the 30s.

My Italian architect has one, although he is more of a motorbike person.

And the basis of Noddy and Big Ears preferred transport IIRC??

To be accurate, it wasn't built by Fiat. It's based on a 500 chassis, and built by Vignale in smallish numbers. Production est 300 between 1967 and 1971.

The production number of the Gamine is higher as there are 545 cars in an International Register. It was produced from 1967-1970 in Turin by Carrozzeria Vignale. About 75 RHD Gamines are known.
