Introduction
Introducing my latest project!. A 1950 Fiat Topolino 'C'. I was very interested in getting hold of one for a long time and when this popped up i couldn't resist.
As you can tell by the pictures its not been on the road for many years and will require a full restoration. The chassis and upper body is in fantastic condition considering its been sat for so long. Despite how it looks in the photo's there's sound solid metal under and all that flaking paint. The only major area's of welding appear to be on the floor pans and o/s sill so shouldnt be too much trouble.
It came as a complete car minus the engine and seat's but i'm in talks about getting the correct engine sorted. But virtually everything else hasn't been touched ( electrics/running gear/gearbox). You may notice its missing its pull back hood but the frames all there and would probaby need a new cover by now anyway. Oh and the N/s front wing and grill are only placed on for the pics
At first glance looking at the plates and badges it appears to be an Irish import. It came with no documentation so the rest of its history is unknown!
So here's some pics
I love the little pop out air intakes operated by a lever in the cabin!
Also Found what looks to be its original Fiat jack the with classic Fiat logo stamped in the top!
Looking forward to getting started on this project, along with my 1971 500l, Not sure which i'll have on the road first!
