RESTORED, SORTED, SOUND TIMELSS CHARACTER CLASSIC
1967 Fiat Bambina - Weaponised adorable.
If you've ever wondered what it feels like to drive a national treasure, a fashion accessory, and a mildly confused sewing machine all at once, allow me to introduce the 1967 Fiat 500 or commonly known, as the Bambina.
This is the car that liberated cyclists. Not metaphorically - literally. A weatherproof moped that delivers endless fun and freedom. The peoples car of Italy, to be precise.
0100 km/h time? It'll reach 100... eventually... but nobody cared enough to stand there with a stopwatch. Yes, its slow - gloriously, unapologetically slow - and thats perfectly fine. Bambina owners buy them for character, charm, and the kind of joy you cant fake. People who need to compensate for something buy cubic inches.
Now, the Facts (Because Even Cute Cars Need Credentials)
This Bambina isn't just a pretty face - its been properly restored in 2023 and is absolutely ready to rock and roll.
- Professional baremetal repaint
Not a quick squirt. Taken right back, done properly, and finished beautifully in the correct Cruise Celeste Blue. Rust? Gone. The small patches it had were cut out and replaced with fresh metal. No shortcuts.
- Mechanical overhaul
All the important bits have been gone through: engine, suspension, brakes - the works. It drives exactly the way a Bambina should, light, eager, and full of character.
- The best upgrade of all - a synchromesh gearbox from a Fiat 126
In English? No more graunching gears like youre learning to drive.
It shifts cleanly, smoothly, and makes the whole experience even more enjoyable.
This is a Bambina thats been loved, sorted, and set up to be driven - not just displayed. This Bambina is for people who want a sensible, reliable classic who don't need to prove anything.
Full documentation of all restoration work is available for genuinely interested buyers. If youd like the complete rundown or want to chat about what makes this little Bambina so special, just reach out - happy to talk you through it.
