New Fiat 500 cards
A further revival of an old but popular car model took place in two steps. At first the Fiat Trepiuno was shown in Geneva in 2004 and in 2007 the actual car based on this prototype was finally introduced in July by the Italian manufacturer, even though all these models will now be built in Poland to keep them at least a bit affordable.
I will list the cards of this new potential cult car, already chosen "Car of the year 2007" grouped by publisher and most examples will also be shown as a warm-up for more or even the actual car.
Here are some factory photos of the prototype:
In total 33 items are listed at the moment, but I hope many more are following as the introductions of this car in other countries than Italy were done on a later date. Besides the convertible version and faster Abarth versions also took place later.
