AI Listing Summary
This 1957 Fiat 'Nuova 500' features a navy blue exterior, red vinyl interior, and a rear-mounted 479cc engine. Recently dry-stored after an older restoration, it requires recommissioning and is offered at No Reserve due to the owner's passing, presenting a unique opportunity for collectors.
Condition
6
The car is described as having undergone an older restoration and being dry-stored in recent years, but it will benefit from some recommissioning. This suggests it's not in perfect condition, but the dry storage implies that it's been protected from the elements, thus preventing further degradation. The issues seem to be addressable with recommissioning, indicating it's not in a state of significant disrepair.

Introduced in July 1957, the 'Nuova 500' was the original city car, with a clever monocoque bodyshell, independent suspension and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes.
Engineered by Dante Giacosa, the newcomer utilised a different mechanical layout to its 'Topolino' predecessor.
Its rear-mounted, air-cooled, two-cylinder OHV 479cc engine was a first for Fiat.
Finished in navy blue with a red vinyl interior, and subject to older restoration, this attractive 500 has been dry-stored in recent years, and will now benefit some recommissioning.
Offered due to the sad passing of the owner, the Fiat will be sold with No Reserve to the highest bidder on the day.
