The Attractions
The 600 may be less famous than its smaller cousin, but without it the New 500 would never have existed. The 600 ushered in a new approach to small cars, and for enthusiasts who want to drive their cars on longer journeys and carry passengers, it is probably a more suitable choice.
This delightful '59 600 is finished in an attractive mint green shade. The paint has visibly undergone a good level of restoration and the interior trim has been redone. It presents itself very well indeed and is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
