Fiat 500 by Gucci priced and dated for UK

Fiat_gucci

Fiat loves a special edition Fiat 500. Not content with launching the Ferrari version, a Diesel model and a convertible, the Italian car giant is now offering the Fiat 500 by Gucci in the UK.

First mentioned back in February, the car has been customised by Gucci to celebrate 150 years of Italian unification and the 90th anniversary of Gucci. Two variations will be available, a 1.2-litre model for £14,565 and the 0.9-litre TwinAir model, which will set you back £15,765. Both will be available online, first come first served, later this month.

Expect numerous special features, including the distinctive colour scheme, a mix of two-tone black with white interior or white exterior with satin chrome and black interior and the option to buy matching clothing by Gucci to go with your new runaround. None of which is likely to come cheap.

eBay watch: 1960s Fiat 500 van

Fiat_van

Here is a real gem and we suspect, something of a rarity – a 1960s Fiat 500 van.

It dates back to 1968 and according to the seller's description, has just 6,893 on the clock. You might want to confirm that. Aside from that, it has a slightly longer profile (it is a van, after all), but still has a soft top and a 499cc engine.

It's said to be 'in superb condition for its age' (with some improvements cosmetically for sure), has an MOT and of course, is tax-free. The bottom line price on the eBay site is £6,995, but you can make an offer if that is a little rich.
