"Luigi" has joined my collection of toys, a 1965 500F, with only 30,000km and in one family from new. It's had a light restoration & 650cc engine upgrade about 10 years ago and we will probably spend the rest of our lives together!
One of my very earliest memories is going to nursery school in the back of one of these, and I've wanted one for years.


I'm doing my best to stop looking at old 500s in the classifieds, if I had the room I'd love one to tinker around with - I know they're small, but I really don't have room in the garage for one!
Still using my Mrs' 500 Twinair as everyday transport, it's currently sharing the drive with another old Italian...

some lovely Fiat 1500, they also had some 1600 and OSCA versions and Pininfarina and so on, The look a bit like mini Maserati's and or some Ferrari's from the past , elegant, class, nice.
I wonder how those drive? RWD I guess/hope?




Every picture just got more covetous. As you said, elegant. And timeless. There's 'fashion' and then there's 'style' and only one is timeless. 😊I wonder how those drive? RWD I guess/hope?

Fiat 1100 Barchetta from 1956 This classic is originally a Fiat Millecento that was converted to a Barchetta body in 1966. The body was built by coachbuilder Giorgio Greppi. The Greppi brothers built various bodies, including 9 examples of the legendary Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale.

I've just bought this Abarth 595 50th Anniversary, should be picking it up on Friday...

Even as an auto (so the Mrs. can use it) it's a hoot, it's very smooth and sounds great. I found it by accident online last night after almost buying a 500 Abarth at the NEC show on Saturday, it's at a dealer just three miles from where I live. One owner, 27k miles, beautiful condition and well looked after. Can't wait to pick it up
