My Cars
« on: October 26, 2011, 10:37:17 PM »
Well it did stay dry at the weekend, so i managed to get some photos of my two cars together, my lovely new A500 and my lovely classic 1965 Fiat 500F.  My classic 500 is a concours vehicle, no panels have been replaced or welded.  This year the car won the Champion of Champions in the 1959-1970's catergory from the Scottish Vintage Vehicle Federation and also best Fiat pre 1970 at the Auto Italia Show at Stanford Hall.

Crikey, do I need my eyes tested? The old 500 looks soooo tiny compared to the modern 500!

Great picture. I parked behind one last year. It was incredible how it made my car look massive :)

Makes you appreciate what a great re-design they did on our cars. So many echos from their predecessors.

Its really amazing to see how much cars have actually grown over the years, funny thing is you can park the current 500 next to things and it looks short but its till you see something like a original mini or a original 500 you stop and take note of how small a car can be lol

Great pic's

Love both cars.

Was going to say your classic 500 looks clean then read it one concourse. It's nice to see such a clean original car

Your original 500 looks lovely - have you owned it long?
