The Attractions
While the British Mini was also produced in a pick-up version, Fiat has never officially offered a corresponding variant of its small 500.
And that's really a shame, because it would certainly have proved very useful for transporting goods and materials in the cobbled streets of picturesque Italian villages. Fiat did, however, produce a station wagon version of the 500, the 'Giardiniera', and a van variant, known as the 'Commerciale' or 'Furgoncino'. For this reason, the owners of this Giardiniera decided to modify its bodywork to create the vehicle that Fiat did not make. We are sure you will agree that the result is truly remarkable.
This 500 has received a complete restoration of the entire body, the interior and the mechanics, and is now ready to be admired and appreciated both as a truly unique collector's car and as a practical and fun companion.
