The Attractions
Often celebrated as a symbol of the 'economic miracle', the Fiat 600 was one of the most successful cars ever produced in Italy. It was a car with many lives - in fact, not only did the 600 soon lead to the Multipla, one of the first mass-produced minivans in Europe, but it would also be used as the basis for the hugely popular Fiat 500.
Compact, versatile and ideal for navigating Italy's narrow roads, the 600 was the backbone of Fiat's future and became synonymous with Italy's unique and extraordinary car culture. This particular car is a rare variant of the second series, produced for a short period from October 1959 to September 1960.
This car received a complete restoration in 2000, including a complete engine rebuild. We are told that it has covered less than 500 kilometres since then and has only been used for a few rallies. The car has been garaged and covered, which no doubt contributed to its splendid condition. The interior has been reupholstered with original fabric and vinyl purchased from Fiat, and the car has been repainted with the original paint, Fiat code 672. The result is a truly remarkable Italian classic full of character.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
