A few years ago the European Union made a ruling that any car over a certain age should be taken off the road in an effort to clean up air pollution. Italy said fine, but the Fiat 500 is a National Icon and, no matter what age, has a place on the roads of Europe. There are still thousands of these little cars on the roads and footpaths of Italy. Now joined by a brand new version, Italy would not be the same without them.
They are such a symbol of Europe for me even though I have never been… it is the films I watch:)
It’s a classic car. Fiat have done well with the new fiat 500
Hi Beth,
Yes the new one is great – love the ancient ones though.
Cheers
