The little Italian classic

History :
This Fiat 500 was acquired in 2017 in southern Italy from a senior citizen. Although she kept and pampered it, it benefited from extensive work carried out by a specialist garage on site to sublimate it. Once imported into Switzerland, it was inspected and overhauled by a specialist garage. Despite the current owner's attachment to this marvel, it is now for sale, as he does not have the opportunity to drive it as much as he would like.

Model history
The Fiat 500, also known as the "Nuova 500", was launched in 1957. Conceived as the successor to the Fiat Topolino, its mission was to provide post-war Italians with an affordable mobility solution. Small but sturdy, it was powered by a small 479 cm³ engine delivering just 13 hp, enough to carry families on their daily commutes.
In the 60s, a sporty version of the Fiat 500 was created in collaboration with Carlo Abarth. This was the Fiat 500 Abarth which, despite its meagre 26 hp, was considered a little bomb thanks to its lightness. The car became legendary in motorsport circles for winning numerous races in its class, often challenging much more powerful cars.
The Italian government declared the Fiat 500 an Italian National Heritage Site, alongside the famous Ferrari 250 GTO.
