Loved by the Italian public during the '50s and '60s, and these days highly prized by collectors and often revered by past and present F1 drivers, the Fiat 500 may be small, but it is big on charm.

A marvel of efficient packaging, the Fiat 500 offers a surprising amount of space in its compact dimensions, and is fun to drive, even though the power figure is low. The 4-speed gearbox needs to be stirred often to extract performance, but this heightens the driving involvement (and fun).

This 1965 example was acquired by its current owner some 25 years ago and has been beautifully maintained ever since. It features new tyres, new exhaust system and electronic ignition has been fitted.

Some minor rust on the left front fender needs attention, and a new open/close clip is required to latch the roof. An affordable entry into Fiat 500 ownership!
