1955 Fiat 600 'Contro vento' suicide doors very early car for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 315 votes
The car you see here comes from the first phase of the first series of the Fiat 600 and is a ‘Contro Ventro' model (‘against the wind') as the doors are rear-hinged and open from the front. Within the doors are mounted sliding windows; these were to disappear after 1955 along with other phase one features such as the wing top mounted cast aluminium sidelights that moved to a lower position on the front wings with the 600D of 1962. Mechanically. this 600 is equipped with a four-speed gearbox with synchromesh on 2nd. 3rd and 4th and hydraulic drum brakes.

This early 600 is a rare machine in the UK and although it requires a complete restoration it offers the enthusiast a great opportunity to revive a survivor that is hard to obtain even in its home country. Parts supplies are excellent with a good specialist market in the UK and many more in Italy
