If there ever was a car that could be used as an image for the definition of ‘cute’, the original Fiat 500 is an extremely strong candidate. This tiny Italian city car had a nice production run from 1957 to 1975, during which nearly 3.9 million units found grateful owners. In fact, Fiat resurrected the nameplate in 2007 to great acclaim once again. If you’re looking for the original hit, here’s a 1966 Fiat 500 Nuova that’s been fully restored with just 22,700 miles on the clock. With fuel prices skyrocketing, this car is perfect for nipping to the shops, as well as enjoying a spirited drive in the countryside.
Dante Giacosa could not have imagined how much of a hit his design would be. The Fiat 500 is just short of 117 inches in length, and exactly 52 inches high and wide. This 1966 Fiat 500 Nuova showcases that pocket-sized perspective in a rather cheery shade of orange, with a black roll-back sunroof. It rolls on a set of dinky 12-inch rims wrapped in 145/70 Uniroyal radial tires. A single exhaust tip is visible at the rear. Notice the lack of any grille at the front? You won’t find the engine under the hood, instead you’ll find the fuel tank, as well as some space for modest luggage. The interior is in black, with a body-colored dash. Despite its tiny dimensions, the Fiat 500 somehow manages to offer seating for four occupants including the driver on two individual front seats with seat belts, and a rear bench seat. You get a speedometer that runs up to 120km/h (75mph), manual winding windows, an orange-tipped gear lever, a white two-spoke steering wheel, some switches for lights and wipers, an ashtray, and that’s it really. The key slots into the ignition barrel that’s situated right in the middle of the dash and fires up the engine.
What engine, you ask? This 1966 Fiat 500 Nuova wears its engine out back, and it’s a 0.5L (499cc to be precise) two-cylinder gasoline powerplant that happily putters away whilst delivering 21hp to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual gearbox. Top speed was reported to be 65mph when new, but this car isn’t meant for racking up speeding tickets as you’ve no doubt garnered by now. It’s reported that the engine and transmission are both original and have received a rebuild.

The Fiat 500 Cinquecento is widely regarded as one of the most culturally significant and emotionally resonant automobiles ever produced, even earning recognition from Top Gear as the sexiest car in the world. Few vehicles command such universal affection, and outside of Ferrari, few Italian cars attract as much attention in public settings as the Fiat 500. The 500 D variant, produced from 1960 through early 1965, represents the most desirable chapter of the Nuova lineage, distinguished by its rear-hinged suicide doors and full-length transformable fabric roof. These design elements were later discontinued due to social pressures of the era, making the D the most collectible configuration. This particular example, produced on February 28, 1962, benefits from exceptional provenance, having had only two owners before being taken off the road in 1987. Following a comprehensive nut-and-bolt restoration beginning in 2020 and subsequent mechanical re-engineering in the United Kingdom, this Fiat 500 D stands as a rare example that balances museum-grade restoration with real-world usability.
