Tita, this iconic FIAT 500D, was made in Torino, Italy in 1962, and sourced by The Classic Car Company into the UK in 2016 when she was fully restored to her former glory at R. Proietti, London’s foremost classic FIAT 500 restoration specialist.
In 2017, she took part in the parade at the world famous Goodwood Revival, celebrating 60 years of the FIAT 500 in this year, the Horsham Piazza Italia event and London’s Regent Street Motor Show. Tita is a cover girl too – selected for the cover of the Fiat 500 Enthusiasts Club magazine.
