Coupe Engine Num: 110F6048401   Sold for $14,040 at 2010 Bonhams. The Nuova 500, introduced in 1957, served as Fiat's replacement for their legendary 500 Topolino. The design was by Dante Giacosa and was a departure from its predecessor's essentially pre-war design. This new car featured unitary construction, an opening fabric roof and all-independent suspension. The air-cooed, overhead-valve twin engine was placed in the rear of the car and driven through a four-speed gearbox. The deluxe 500L was introduced in 1968 alongside the standard 500F. Both models were mechanically identical with the differences between the two being cosmetic enhancements and an improved interior on the 500L. Almost 3,000,000 of these models were sold when production ceased in 1975. In 2010, this car was offered for sale at the Exceptional Motorcars and Automobilia auction presented by Bonhams. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $14,040 inclusive of Buyer's Premium. By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2010
