One owner since 1963 is generally a great thing for any car, especially if the car is a rare Facel Vega HK 500. This car could even be exactly as it looked in 1963, unfortunately the past owner decided to repaint it in 1974 but the job was never completed. Of course the good is… Read More 55 years ownership: 1961 Facel Vega HK 500
The seller of this barchetta built on a 1937 Fiat 500 says that he purchased this car in Italy some years ago as a full project, he restored it and that this is the first time that this car is on the market. At a first sight we believed this car to be a modern… Read More Never on the market: 1937 Fiat 500B Sport Barchetta
This is the second time we see a 500 N Sport for sale, and that’s because this is a very rare 500, much rarer than any Abarth version. As long as we have published another one, let us reprise what we’ve already said: soon after the launch, in 1957, the Fiat 500 was not performing… Read More The special one: 1960 Fiat 500 N Sport
This car is speculated to be one of only three still surviving pickup out of 55 ever made by Giannini: we have never seen one so far. Actually we didn’t know that Giannini made a pickup based on Fiat 500 platform (which Giannini knew very well); indeed we believed that, back in the sixties, Giannini’s… Read More Limited delivery: 1965 Fiat 500 Pickup by Giannini
Our friend Alex has shown us the rarest version of the Fiat 500: It is called Sport and it is speculated that only 2 (other than this car) are around nowadays. Compared to this model, an Abarth 595 is a commodity. Soon after the launch, in 1957, the Fiat 500 was not performing well on the… Read More The rarest of them all: 1958 Fiat 500N Sport
We doubt this car was built in 1957: indeed the plate is from that year but very probably this car was built not later than 5/7 years after the end of WWII. As many other similar cars, this one is a racer built on a “Topolino” platform in order to join all the road races… Read More Tiny with character: 1957 Fiat 500B “Barchetta”
This is a very rare car not only because it’s a Fiat 500A van (some sources say that less then 50 Giardiniera still survive, and much less van) but because it was bought and used by Campari (the famous italian alcholic beverages brand) to deliver their product. Indeed the car is still painted in the dark Campari… Read More Don’t drink and drive: 1940 Fiat 500A Furgoncino “Campari”
Once again here it is another relic of the magnificent and bygone era of hand-crafted italian sports cars. It is called “Siluro” (Torpedo) as usual for this kind of cars. This is one of the many (most of which lost) cars made by small coachworks (often made by one of two craftsmen) for private parties who… Read More Disused postwar torpedo: 1948 Fiat 500 “Siluro”
This is an ultra-rare pre-war Siata Amica Trasformabile, built on Fiat 500B chassis (a.k.a. “Topolino”). It’s indeed a rare event to see one of these, especially if for sale. This car has not only the chassis but also the engine, drivetrain and suspensions of the Topolino so the good is that finding the correct spare parts… Read More Transformed Topolino: 1939 Siata Amica Trasformabile
Apart from having the same colors of Bumblebee (the Camaro of the film Transformers), this tiny car has another similarity with such film: it is basically a Fiat 500 chassis and engine transformed by Ferves, a little company among other similar companies which rose in the late ‘60’s and generally closed in the mid ‘80’s.… Read More Transformer: 1967 Ferves Ranger 500
