From the famous Topolino to the award-winning Cinquecento, here is the full and eventful story of all the 'baby' Fiats, with particular emphasis on the now classic 600 and Nuova 500.
Always big on character and charm, Fiat's little cars 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 as very popular classics.
Read, too, about the 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.
