Fiat - 500 C Topolino - 1953

OVERVIEW The Fiat Topolino hardly needs an introduction—especially in this striking colour combination. As immortalised in Paolo Conte’s famous 1970s song, this is the* legendary “Amaranto Topolino”, a true icon of Italian motoring heritage. Beautifully preserved, this example is finished in the most classic and desirable livery: black and amaranto. Apart from a few tiny marks visible in the photos, the paintwork remains in excellent condition, showing a deep and even shine. The original chrome bumpers are still fitted and are structurally sound, with no dents or corrosion. Adding to its authenticity, the car still wears its original black “Roma” iron number plates, a rare and charming detail. CONDITION The interior is completely original, featuring black upholstery that perfectly complements the elegant exterior. Even the fabric covering the rear bench is the factory original, showing only gentle signs of age that add character rather than detract from it. The interior rubber mats and fittings are in good shape, and when the floor mats are lifted, there is no trace of rust whatsoever. The underside is remarkably solid—perhaps even better preserved than the top. The car’s structure is entirely sound, with no holes or corrosion. The exhaust system has been replaced by the previous owner, and the car now runs beautifully. Mechanically, it performs excellently: the engine starts instantly, runs smoothly with no leaks, the gearbox shifts precisely, and the braking system works as it should. All dashboard instruments—simple but charming—are fully functional, and no components are missing or damaged. DOCUMENTATION: Comes with complete Italian registration documents. The vehicle is located in Montemor-o-Novo, Évora, Portugal. Please contact Catawiki to arrange a viewing or to request additional photos or videos of the car starting and running. Shipping is only possible by mutual agreement. All shipping costs are to be borne by the buyer.
