Hi Pep
Have you had any grief about the size of your front number plate?

Hi All this is Fiona, a 1972 500L . When i found her she'd been sitting in a yard for 9 yrs ,so I bought her and so my love affair started.3 yrs later lots of paperwork and Spanish beaurocracy I have this very day taken her out for a spin,I was like a kid in a sweetshop,grinning from ear to ear.

Wow what amazing motors - all. I am thinking of an investment in a car. How are prices holding up. I missed a 51 Topolino on Ebay which sold for £4700 last month, which seemed very cheap and I have been kicking myself for not bidding. Perhaps I should consider a 500 instead. There is a 1936 Topolino in the Netherlands which needs some restoration at around £2500. Perhaps Pandatoni should make a day trip to inspect it.

Believe it or not, the Topolino is the original 500. That's why when in 1957 they came out with the model you see on this forum they called it the Fiat 500 Nuova. www.subito.it an Italian website still has a good amount of them available. I prefer the 1936 Topolino myself. The 1951 looks too much like a truck in the front end.

I so would like a 1930's Model A. My Dad bought one in 1963 but the crank was broken so he scrapped it, but I can still remember it. Just taken delivery of a 1:43 model from Italy, and want a real one even more!

Finally got Snowy back on the road after a bare metal respray and nut and bolt rebuild. Just got a gearbox to sort and then we're A-OK. Hope you enjoy your Fait as much as we do.

Hi from South Africa. This is my little yellow 1959 N I am slowly getting back on the road. :slayer:

So happy to finally form part of the Fiat 500 Family!!!! I've been admiring them for many many years!!!! I got my hands on a pristine 500R from 1974. Love the round dash (so initially looked at the F, but then spotted the R, with the 595cc engine and that was more appealing) ...

I live in Malta, so coming across such a jem, exactly in the specs and color that I wanted, I couldn't pass on the opportunity...

So here is Luigi....

This is my 1972 500L. Fully restored and looks as good as new

A bit undercover. 1963 500D. Generally in good nick. USA

Rosso coralo forse

Like it.

Ours is called Bella, 1968 500F rhd had her nearly a year but not had time to have her out yet spent the winter doing some little jobs on her so looking forward to the summer. She has a 600cc engine, 126 box, brakes and wheels. Tried to upload a couple more photos but it won't let me.

More photos of Bella

Last one

Not sure which is prettier, the car, or the Fire mill. Nice work!

Following getting my car’s oil filter problem sorted I thought it would be a good idea to have a ‘shake down’ run before making too many plans. So that was our plan for this afternoon and, as the sun was shining, we took the opportunity for a few photos.

I love the green Ian; I call it "Envy Green".

It’s a colour that looks “Right” for the ‘60s period. I have a short list of jobs to do and then this one is up for sale.

Here’s a couple more pictures of her:

Hi, here’s my 1968 500f, r/h drive, we’re in Perth Australia and my 9yr old daughter has nick named him Luigi... yes because of the movie cars.
