THE CAR OFFERED
This 500 C Belvedere is a fine example of Italy's beloved everyman car. Finished in a classic two-tone green color scheme that conjures journeys in the Tuscan countryside, it features pleasing touches such as cream wheel centers, chrome bumpers, and a full-length Webasto sliding roof. Wearing a well-maintained older restoration, it has an honest and authentic character. The consignor reports that he acquired the car from an Italian lawyer who lived in the exclusive
Coppede
neighborhood in Rome, using the Topolino there for approximately 15 years. In recent months, the current owner has done some maintenance to include brake servicing, fitting new sunroof material, new replacement chrome bumpers, and new window rubbers. Up to four passengers can cozy up in the minimalistic cabin, which is trimmed with authentic materials. The four-speed gearbox is shifted via a floor-mounted lever, allowing the driver to extract the most from the 569cc 'four. An original jack and various spares are included in the sale.
In 1936 Fiat touted the 500 as the
"great new little car to save money and work."
It remains widely loved, and this eminently appealing Belvedere wagon will surely provide endless delight as you motor around the village, farm, or country estate.
