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.
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

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.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.
