Excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition
ASI
After the Second World War, FIAT was led by Vittorio Valletta who, wishing to motorise the new republican Italy, commissioned Dante Giacosa to design the new car: an arduous task, given that the company had truly modest potential. Fiat's small utility car was presented on 9 March 1955 in Geneva, in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni. The '600', born as a popular but not entirely super-utilitarian car, was a resounding sales success and, after only a few months, the waiting time for delivery exceeded a year.

Strategic ingredients of success were the competitive, but not outrageous price, good equipment and quality for the price, good roominess and good road handling which, combined with the good gearbox, also proved satisfying to drive despite the small, newly designed engine, the '100', located at the rear, of 633 cm³, delivering 21.5 hp (equal to 15.8 kW) at 4,600 rpm, capable of propelling the car up to 95 km/h. It is considered the icon of the Italian economic boom.

The model shown here is a splendid two-tone red-black, typical of the early production years of the second generation Fiat 600. Restored over 15 years ago, it is still in excellent aesthetic and mechanical condition, such as the upholstery, which is still in very good shape, and the tank, which has been restored and treated with Tankerite. Very little use has been made of it and it has been regularly maintained. Complete with its original accessories and spare wheel. ASI registered.
