Fiat and Abarth 500, 600, and Seicento
From the famous Topolino of the 30s, to the modern Seicento,
here's the full and eventful story of the baby Fiats, with particular
emphasis on the now classic 600 and Nuova 500 of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Always big on character, Fiat\146s little cars played an important
international role in providing affordable and practical private transport
for millions. Built in, and exported to many countries outside the
marque's native Italy, over 6.5 million Topolinos, 600s and Nuova 500s
were sold and an amazing number survive today. Read, too, about wonderful
models built on these tiny chassis by Italy's leading coachbuilders,
licensed models from other manufacturers and the motorsport success
achieved by Abarth versions of the small cars everyone loves.
Completely updated & enlarged second edition of a popular Veloce
classic. Now with detailed coverage of the popular Seicento, 192 art paper
pages and over 200 pictures, many in color.
