"A delightful example; representative, presentable, and comfortably usable."

Description

The car was registered by the current owner's husband in the early 1980s. He purchased it from a gardener in Alstad, north of Trelleborg, where the Topolino was sitting in a rather sad state in the gardener's garden. The owner undertook a restoration over a couple of years, and the car hit the roads again in 1983. He sold it to his friend three years ago in 2020 but repurchased the 500 model a year later. The condition remains excellent to this day, and an extensive spare parts package is also included in the purchase. The full history of the car has not been completely determined, but it is likely that either the gardener imported it without registering the car or it was sold new in Sweden and then re-registered. The latter seems more plausible.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The car has been sitting for a couple of years, and with old fuel, the engine runs a bit unevenly. However, with fresh gasoline and some driving, it will likely run much better. The last inspection was conducted in May 2018, but the car was already approved and exempted from inspection due to its age and a previous inspection in July 2016.

  • Interior condition:

    The car has a pleasant and fresh feel inside, with intact and clean upholstery. Overall, it looks stylish in a functional way. A son can fondly recall how, in his childhood in the 1980s, he used to ride in the space behind the seats. The interior is cozy, with a nice carpet adding to the ambiance.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car underwent restoration in the 1980s, and the paint remains attractive and in good condition, with some minor signs of normal wear. The chrome is in good condition, and the soft top is intact and in excellent shape.

  • General condition:

    The car gives a solid and genuinely fresh impression. A minor service check is all it needs, and then it's ready to be used.

Facts about the model

In 1936, Fiat introduced its smallest model, the Fiat 500, which earned the nickname "Topolino," the Italian name for Mickey Mouse. The car, weighing only 600 kilograms, could accommodate two people and lacked a trunk, but it offered plenty of space for its occupants. It was a true car, featuring a water-cooled four-cylinder engine, a synchronized gearbox, and individual front suspension. The Topolino came in two versions - one with a large foldable fabric roof and the other as a covered version.

In 1948, the updated 500B was introduced with a top-valve engine, and at the same time, the model series was supplemented with a station wagon variant with a small rear seat. The following year, the 500C was launched, featuring a trunk. The 500C was produced until 1955 when it was replaced by the slightly larger 600 with a rear-engine layout.
