From the famous Topolino of the 30s, 40s and 50s to the award winning Cinquecento and the new Siecento, here is 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 and charm, Fiat's little cars also played an important international role in providing affordable and practical private transport for millions who had previously thought that their dream was impossible. 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 cars' tiny chassis by Italy's leading coachbuilders and the motorsport success achieved by Abarth versions of the small cars that everybody loves.
