 550th post: Videos++ review: Fiat 500 Classic In this blog entry, I'm reviewing the Fiat 500 Classic (Cinquecento in Italy).  This is the 550th post.  It's produced from 1957 to 1975 and measuring less than 3 metres long (2.97m), 180cm wheelbase and 499kg (0.5 tonne), it's the 1st ever City car. I still see a few units of this baby running around in Malaysia though it's getting rarer as days passed.  The value of the Fiat 500 is determined by body (eg. rust), condition (eg. engine, interior),  willing buyer and willing seller (ie, No fixed value). ABOVE: Rear air cooled Engine, BELOW: Bonnet The engine's a 17hp 2 cylinder air cooled 479cc mated with a 4 speed manual gearbox.  Top speed: 90km/h only.

They were also responsible for the Peel Manxcar , Peel P50 , and Peel Trident microcars , in addition to the Peel Viking Sport and prototype GRP Minis for BMC. These models constitute the only automobiles manufactured on the Isle of Man; the company halted their manufacture in 1969. A limited-run Peel Manxkart go-kart was also produced. The Peel P50 to this day still carries the Guinness record as the World's Smallest Production Car. The Peel Engineering Company was dissolved in 1974.
