I was recently asked ‘how many cars have you owned’. When I listed them I realised that the earlier cars had similarities with the 500s.
For me the first 500 that I owned was very like the Fiat 127 Sport - they were both in black and had stripes. I had bought the 127 Sport coming from a 1.6 Twin cam to have cheaper running costs. It was the same with the 500 Sport coming from a 6 cylinder engine.
Some talk about the Twin Air having the ‘spirit’ of the original 500 2 cylinder engine but for me it was the 127 Sport 70HP with the 1050cc Twin Weber engine that proved the closest in character and temperament to the 500 1.4.
