AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
IN RISALTO
* Equipped with Federperiti Conformity Guarantee Expertise
* Versione C Belvedere
* With original booklet with pages
* Black Bari plates
STORIA / PANORAMICA
The Fiat 500 C “Topolino,” an evolution of the famous 500 A, is one of the most iconic city cars in the history of Italian automotive. Built from 1949 to 1955, the 500 C stands out for its evolving lines, more modern and rounded, and for the distinctive front end with an integrated grille. The Belvedere version, with a Transformable openable roof, allowed daily transporting for work and family movement thanks to its 4 seats.
The specimen offered is from 1953, thus belonging to the latter part of the 500 C’s career, and it retains the characteristics that made the Topolino one of the most recognizable cars of its era.
EXTERIOR
The bodywork presents itself generally solid, with signs of time and some corrosion spots. The paint, redone a few years ago, maintains good gloss and has recently undergone polishing and detailing.
A measurement check with a micrometer did not reveal traces of significant accidents.
The underbody has never been restored and appears as well preserved, with minimal localized corrosion points. No signs of accidents are visible and the chassis is solid.
INTERIOR
The interiors show normal signs of wear, but are complete, usable, and presentable in line with the car’s overall patina. The door panels and rear seats are overall preserved. The dashboard retains the original instruments. The hood/soft top shows some signs of age, but opens and closes easily and a repair has been carried out in the past.
MECHANICS
The car preserves the correct engine, with a code corresponding to the chassis number, as reported in the circulation documents. It has been recently restarted and can be driven on a private road. The engine runs, as do the gearbox and brakes. Given the limited use in recent years, a general service is advised before regular use.
The technical inspection (revisions) expired before 2018.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
