  • The Fiat

    Dear All,

    Spotted this beauty in San Gimignano and thought it deserved a few pictures. Various effects here, aged, sepia and straight processing. Hopefully someone will be able to add info on the car itself.

    Best Regards

    Josh

        Production line sold to Spain and a larger engine fitted to make the first model produced by SEAT, now part of the Volkswagen group. A friend of mine in the village has a pristine blue example of one from the very first production year

          My friend had one of those way back when. Hers was sage green.

          She referred to it as 'the roller skate'.

            Nice set of pics of a popular car.

            maybe a crop top and bottom of the 1st would be good?

              I agree that the crop might work. Good set of pics - I like the sepia version.

                Thanks All.

                This is one of my fav sets from Tuscany. The car just fitted so well with the surroundings.
