Specialist Notes

The small "Topolino" is one of the world's best-known cars, created in the 1930s to be minimal and economical. While the official name was FIAT 500, everyone called the car "Topolino", for its size and muzzle. The first series, retrospectively known as the 500 A (to distinguish it from the later B and C), was produced until 1938 with the quarter elliptical rear leaf springs (the so-called "balestrino" or "balestra corta") later replaced by a normal semi-elliptical leaf springs to improve load capacity. This specimen, of type "A" already with a long leaf spring frame, is partially restored and preserved and is still in very good condition; the interior is impeccable and like new, the bodywork is in order, with the inevitable signs of ageing, the soft top is practically new. It is mechanically complete; the mounted engine is probably from the later series. Stopped for some time, it needs careful set-up before being put on the road.
