By definition, a car nearly a hundred years old has a rich history. That is certainly true of this Fiat 501S with a biposto (two-seater) body in rosso corsa (racing red). Italian documents accompanying the car call the bodywork a “artigianale sport spider” (artigianale = handmade). The top speed of the four-cylinder 1460 cc side-valve engine is 70 km/h, which was a tremendous speed for 1924. In the original brochure, the car is referred to as “vettura sportiva, spartana e di peso ridotto”, a “sports car, spartan and with low weight”.Since 2019, the car has been registered in the Netherlands. Between 2003 and 2018, it has had two owners from northern Italyë. Before the Fiat was exhibited for no less than 44 years in the IfAS museum in Turin in northern Italy. Fine historical documents accompanying the car show how it rode along in a parade in the 1960s and received press attention on several occasions.The Fiat is highly original and the driving of the car also revives old times. The car drives with pre-war features, but like any classic, it can participate in demonstration rides and tours. The owner who does so is assured of a lot of attention from bystanders.
