I was gathering parts for my work in the 914 and had to stop to take some pic's. Only had a cheap olympis voice recorder/camera with me. Pic's are a fixed focus and 640x480 res. The car looks like the little clown car at the circus where all of 10 clown's pile out of it. Can anyone guess the age of this car?? I did not have time to find the owner.

actually its a Fiat 500 L - pretty rare these days
it's the Italian contra to the VW Beetle
just a few weeks ago the Italien canged their law (pollution) to keep these cars on the road!!

it was built from 1968 - 72 (only the L - btw. L stands for Luxus)
the complete 500 series was built from 1957 - 75

they all had 0.5 liter engines with 13, 15 or 18 PS
there was even a "Sport"-Version with 20 PS (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

uups ... now I've to correct myself

all the little Fiat 500 with a body like the pics above were built from 1957-75

but this was the second series
the first series was the famous 500 Topolino, which was built from 1936-1955 in various body versions

there are two of'em:

I saw some vintage races at Zandvoort in the summer of '01, and one of the sessions featured Abarth-tuned FIAT 500s. I had never seen one before, and was totally amazed by their performance. It is my understanding that these were all 2 cyl engines, air cooled. The race versions supposedly used the same basic block, but were super tuned to make (relatively) high HP...

It sparked my interest in the vintage race scene.

One of the colleges I went to (there were three) had an old Goggomobil that some guy had willed to the school. I really really really wanted to get it and put a Type IV in it and bust around town in it. I love these micro-cars.

my local oldtimer club organized a hillclimb event here in Austria since 1994
you won't believe what strange vehicles started there

this one is called "Libelle", it's from 1954 (made in Austria)
btw - I'm the one in the background, sitting in front of the computer ...

As sick as this sounds, I think this genre of cars is pretty damn cool. Howbout some pics of an Issetta (sp?).

Very unique engineering compared to the Detroit mentality of the same period. Of course you wounldn't want to (pun intended) run into a Detroit iron of the same vintage.

Cool cars except for the crashworthyness. Too damn many bad drivers on the road.

1/8 liter 1 cyl 2stroke aircooled engine
6 HP - max. speed 35 miles
no reverse gear

(IMG:http://home.t-online.de/home/02934893-0001/zeitg1.jpg)

another one is the "Hanomag 2/10" (built in the 20ies)
1/2 liter 1 cyl 4stroke engine
10 HP - max. speed 38 miles

I have a very good friend who had a 1965 Fiat 500 back in the mid 70's, he built a chassis with a small block chevy, a corvette independant rear end and a roll cage and put in his, he did a pretty nice job with it. You had to sit almost to the back of the car. It didn't last too long, high center of gravity, short wheel base, out doing burnouts in it and it got a little squirrely and it went sideways and flipped it over. but it sure was fun.
