all very well ...but what's that stupid boy-racer "hump" doing on the front ?

surely they didn't put an oil cooler or intercooler or whatever there ?

...if you intended driving it into the middle of a circus ring and have 12 midgets dressed as clowns alight from it.

Only a serious Fiat nut would buy this, and even then. The 70's 500's were notoriously unreliable, but only a qualified mechanic with a masochistic streak and too much money would buy this pinnacle of 1960's Italian engineering.

I hope I never get stuck at a red light with that monster 700cc engine revving beside me!
Seems a shame to power all that hard work with a lawnmower.

And €17K? Ehhhh no!

I would love an Abarth version of either the 500 or 600. It'd have to be the 600 (Abarth 1000) as I can't fit in a 500. Point is however you could buy one of these rare abarths for less money than this fool is asking.

I used to live beside a guy who bought one in better nick in Italy for a few grand and drove it back to Belfast :eek:. It was LHD but the car was so small it didn't matter. It was lovely tho, looked really original.
