Anybody here know old Fiats?

I'm interested in an eBay Fiat that I've never seen before:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&category=6218&item=2436690285

The seller doesn't know the model number and seems to be guessing that it's a 1960s era car (looks older to me).

What is it?

It's a series 2 topolino, predecessor to the original 500, it had a 454(?)cc twin at the front and a 3 speed box. The series 1 had pod type headlamps and clam shell front wings.

Just had a look at it on ebay, it has a 4 pot engine, and water cooled - now confused!!

The green Fiat Topolino C Berlina Transformabile -1952 in the lower right corner has the same turn signals on top of the wings.

Fiat topolino, nicknamed the little mouse.

Chap in The U.S.of A. dropped a V8 in one (small block chevy I believe, also known as a mouse engine).

getting a bit scarce now (thank god)

Enjoy.
