Presented in a period shade of light grey with red painted wheels and a brown interior, the Topolino's charm is in its simplicity. Described as an older restoration, the Topolino came to the US in 1985 when it was imported from Italy by then owner Alberto Pedretti. With a history file dating back to that period, the Fiat was maintained during Pedretti's ownership with an engine and transmission rebuild performed.
Acquired by its previous owner about 15 years ago, and in current ownership for about 5 years, the Topolino is very original, and sports a newer replaced wool headliner, while the trunk has been tidied. An engine refurbishment has been carried out in recent times as well. Upgraded 500C tubeless wheels and a C aluminum oil sump have been fitted, and the Topolino is reported to run and drive well. With good fit and finish throughout, this Topolino presents as a functional and charming example of one of Italy's most beloved icons.
