Fiat - 500 C - 1952

IN RISALTO: • Car with original first registration plate Torino (TO-899027) re-admitted to circulation in 1993 • Only about 17 km driven from purchase in 2022 to today and stored in private garage • Underwent complete mechanical and electrical overhaul finished in October 2022 • Equipped with a new battery (replaced April 2026) and service belt replaced June 2026 HISTORY/PANORAMA: The Fiat 500C, popularly nicknamed "Topolino", represents one of the most famous and loved cars in Italian post-war automotive history. Introduced in 1949 with a redesigned front end compared to previous series and featuring the practical fabric convertible top, it combines simple construction, efficiency and vintage charm. This 1952 example preserves the history of its first registration in Turin (plate TO-899027) and was re-registered in Italy on October 2, 1993 with Milan plate (MI6Z2883). Since May 5, 2022 the car belongs to the current owner, who keeps it indoors in a garage and has covered only about 17 km since the last restoration. BODYWORK/PAINTWORK: The bodywork, the subject of repainting by the previous owner, is generally in good condition and maintains a uniform shine. No signs of rust through are evident (only light traces of surface rust in the engine compartment). The seller notes some light usage scratches and a small dent on the rear hood near the left side of the plate. The seals provide good sealing, the chrome parts are in order, and there is a chromed metal rear luggage rack that has never been installed or used. The original fabric soft top has been replaced by the previous owner and is intact. Note the absence of the key for the door and hood lock. The tyres are in fair condition and replacement is recommended. INTERIOR: The cabin is in excellent overall preservation, with the upholstery arranged by the previous owner. The coverings show no tears or significant damage, only small stains and minor surface scratches. The fabric top is intact and fully functional. The dashboard and onboard instruments are operational, showing normal signs of wear with some vintage aging. Internal lighting and all main controls are active and functioning. MECHANICS: The mechanicals underwent a thorough, complete general overhaul finished in October 2022. Work performed includes a full overhaul and partial rebuilding of the electrical system, servicing of the braking system with piston release, replacement of the brake pump and shoes with original parts, cleaning of the tank and fuel system, oil change and inspection of all linkages. More recently the battery (April 2026) and the service belt (June 2026) were replaced. The car starts reliably at first attempt both hot and cold and is ready to drive. Headlights, lights and horn are perfectly functional. The engine shows only the physiological oil seepage typical of vehicles of its era. The periodic inspection is currently expired. DOCUMENTS: The documentation includes the registration card in the name of the current owner, the inspection certificate dated 29/10/2022, and the original user and maintenance manual from the period.
