The Fiat 500 is a small city car built by Fiat between 1957 and 1975

Launched as the 500N (Nuova) it was a cheap and practical town car. Measuring only 2.97 metres (9 feet 9 inches) long, and originally powered by an 469 cc two-cylinder air-cooled engine producing 13hp, the car had a fabric folding roof and “suicide” doors. In 1958 a sports edition was issued, with a larger (499cc) engine which gave 21hp, red wheels, and a sold roof.

1960's 500D arrived with a 499cc engine producing 18hp, and gave the option of full length or half length fabric roof.

A 500F was introduced in 1965 with front hinged doors and a half length fabric roof. The Lusso version was released in 1968, with bumper overriders – and carpet! The 500R “Rinnovata” was the last version, with a new Fiat badge, and a 594cc engine producing 18hp

Between 1960 and 1975 the 500K Giardiniera, a two door station wagon version was available. This version had a 499cc flat twin engine producing 18hp and was 4 inches longer than the saloon. It kept its suicide doors for the whole of its lifespan. It was also available as a van.

Sports tuned models were released by Arbarth, some of which produced as much as 38hp, and an open version with custom bodywork by Ghia. This was known as the “Jolly”

Total Production: 3,893,294
