This 1952 Fiat Topolino 500c was delivered new in Rome, Italy and was acquired by the second owner in 1995. The car was acquired by the seller in 2003, and a refurbishment completed in 2009 included a bare metal repaint in the original color. Power comes from a 569cc inline-four that was serviced five months ago with a new starter motor, exhaust piping, oil, a head gasket, fuel pump, and more. The transmission is a 4-speed manual, and the seller also replaced the brake cylinders. This Topolino is now being offered in Rome, Italy with the original license plate and registration, documentation, and an Italian title.
This car was reportedly owned by a Fiat dealership from new until 1995. According to the seller, less than 2% of Topolino production included right-hand drive examples. The car was disassembled and stripped to bare metal before being repainted in 2009 in its original color. Both bumpers were refurbished and present well in photos.
The color matched steel wheels were refurbished and include Fiat branded center-caps. All the panels are believed to be original. Five months ago, the seller replaced the brake slave cylinders, master cylinder, fluid, and adjusted the drums. The hub bearings and lug nuts were replaced at the same time.
The interior features black vinyl seats, as well as a contrasting blue/beige painted dashboard and instrument cluster. All gauges and switchgear are said to function properly and the odometer shows 87k kilometers
