Marino Brandoli, one of the many Turinese personalities who dedicated their professional life to tuning on a Fiat base, was famous for his cylinder heads which improved the efficiency of Fiat engines. In fact, in the past we have seen other special cars based on Fiat with engines developed by his shop: generally they were… Read More Special head: 1939 Fiat 500B Barchetta by Marino
We have seen around some Fiat 500C with this configuration, but never a “B” series. This vehicle is not to be defined simply as rare, but very rare: we do not know whether it left the factory like this or, if the modification was made later than its birth, who made it; surely this is… Read More Ragtop truck: 1948 Fiat 500B Autocarro
It is not new that the “special” edition Fiat 500 A and B are rare, and this is even more true when it comes to cars set up for work. Many coachbuilders have tried their hand at the construction of bespoke bodies on the frames of these cars that they bought directly from the factory,… Read More Working class: 1948 Fiat 500A “Furgoncino”
Update, same day This is a scam: A reader told us that the real owner of the car never put the vehicle up for sale and he will never do so: be careful if you see the same car popping somewhere for sale again. ****************************** Too bad for the presence of only one (bad quality)… Read More Mega rare: 1947 Fiat 500C “Panoramica” by Zagato
Orlandi built cars? Never heard of it before. So, we did a check on the book “La Sport e i suoi artigiani” which is the most important book eve made about the italian cars, but no trace of this car. And yet, Orlandi was a known coachbuilder specialized in building truck and coaches but we… Read More Unknown: 1955 Fiat 500C Barchetta by Orlandi
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
We actually didn’t know what title we could give to this article as this car is a mistery, with the exception of the chassis which is said to belong to a Fiat 500C a.k.a. “Topolino”. Indeed the seller has no info about who built it back in the fifties but, who did it, knew how… Read More Mistery mouse: 1957 Fiat 500C Custom
We know this car: we’ve seen it for sale in Italy about six years ago at a dealer in the north-east of Italy. Then it disappeared and now it has migrated in Germany, where it’s actually for sale. This barchetta was built by Trevisan, a coachbuilder located in the north-east of Italy: we know very few… Read More Alfa inspiration: 1954 Fiat 500C Barchetta by Trevisan
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 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
