Fast Facts:

A gently modified and well presented example of the lightweight Italian city car, equipped with an upgraded Fiat 126/FSM Niki 652 cc air-cooled twin

The Details:

This beautifully presented Fiat 500F ‘Bambino’ is a more spirited modified example of the characterful cult classic, finished in blue over a black interior and showing 88,765 miles.

It is understood to be equipped with a Niki 650 engine, a carbureted 652 cc air-cooled two-cylinder which has developed a bit of a cult following over the decades. Mounted in the rear, this drives the rear wheels via a manual transmission.

The exterior paintwork is described by the seller as good, with a scratch noted on the left-hand guard. Contrasting the blue finish are yellow alloy wheels, with the car also featuring a folding fabric sunroof, updated Abarth badging, and a twin-outlet exhaust.

The black interior presents neatly, with simple ribbed seat trim, black door cards and painted blue bodywork visible throughout the cabin. A roll cage has been fitted alongside the aftermarket sports steering wheel, VDO tachometer, Abarth sill plate and sports pedal plate. A fire extinguisher is fitted in the front luggage compartment.

Offered from a 10-year ownership, the car is currently unregistered and is not accompanied by service history.

Boasting a personality that belies its small stature, this modified Fiat 500F Bambino offers a practical performance uplift to one of the 20th century’s most recognisable small cars. With its 650 cc engine conversion and period-style sporting touches, it should appeal to enthusiasts seeking a charming and playful Italian classic.
