In a previous life, I worked on the design team for the Fiat 500. While based in Barcelona, working on passive safety and homologation of these Gems, I developed an addiction to these quirky little run arounds.

Now semi retired, working from home while nestled in the drizzly embrace of my home town of Manchester, I still find myself trying to make a living from buying, obsessing and selling Fiat 500s. From time to time I come across a car other than a fiat 500, I guess that’s like an Italian chef that can make noodles as well as Ciabatta.
