The Appeal
Sometimes the most appealing cars are not the fastest or most luxurious, they’re the most unique, and you’re certainly not likely to see anything quite like this on the roads…
This Fiat 600’s appearance has been radically changed, with Abarth-inspired wide bodywork and of course the removal of its roof. Finished to a high standard, resplendent in red and sat upon some particularly fine Abarth-style alloys, it’s an intriguing machine that’s sure to turn heads wherever it goes. It appears in excellent overall condition and the vendor reports that it’s ready to be driven.
