    Hello Fabio,

    It was the model that come in place of the fiat 500, it had the same engine type and displacement, two cylinders air cooled, back
    displacement and the mechanical starter (a small lever placed on the
    floor of the car that pulled a cable that phisically link the starter electical engine to the flywheel like the fiat 500), look at this: https://youtu.be/_Y6z4UyhPKA The second lever is the "choke".

    My first car was a Fiat 500. Yes, I remember the two levers between the front seats beside the hand brake..

    BTW, my mother's Renault 4 (La Reine) in which I learned yo drive also had a similar starter lever next to the hand brake. Same as the Renault Dauphine in whch I did tghe driver's test.

    A really fun car! :)

    Yep the Fiat 500 was a fun car. It carried me to many of the EU countries. France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Andorra, Monaco, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switserland, The UK, Ireland, Czecho Slovakia and Poland. I once dismounted the engine, carried it inside my house boat to replace a valve. Then carried it back out and remounted it.

    Unfortunately the Fiat 500 had a serious rust problem and it so it ended on the scrao yard...


    Cheers, Michiel
