Very Rare RHD 1955 Fiat 500 C Topolino Beautiful Car Inside And Out £10750The Fiat 500C, known as the Topolino, is a significant part of Italian automotive history, often called the "people's car" for bringing affordable mobility to the masses. For the serious collector, this is a rare car that's hard to come by, especially in this condition and as a right hand drive. Alternatively, if you're after a bit of weekend fun to take to shows, you'll certainly stand out from the crowd with this unique little gem.Introduced in 1936, it was a small, economical car designed during the Great Depression. While it was officially launched as the Fiat 500, the public quickly gave it the nickname Topolino, meaning "little mouse," due to its compact size and rounded design. Fiat eventually embraced the name, linking it to the popular Disney character Mickey Mouse, and the Topolino became an iconic symbol of post war Italy.This 1955 Fiat Topolino Model C stands out as a rare right hand drive variant, valued for its refined styling and characterful 569cc four cylinder engine. What truly sets it apart is its fascinating provenance spending years in Italy as a museum exhibit before being acquired by a prestigious Pebble Beach winning Rolls Royce and Bentley restorer for their personal collection.
