I always thought Fiat’s 500s clever idea of a centrifugal oil filter, housed in the front pulley, was a great idea: it kept some of the crud down in the crankshaft, unlike we see in our Jaguars. That continued all the way through the 2 liter Spyders.
My very first car was a Fiat 500 with optional reclining seats 
, same year as the one in the photo based on the front emblem. Bought it used in the early 80’s for 900000 lira’s ( about $450 at the time). In Italy you have to be 18 to drive period. No schooling or permits at 16.
No sync gearbox, needed to be pushed uphill and downhill 
.
Good memories and a lot of fun!

I could have bought one last year same color for a few hundred dollars, but looking t the size I thought it was a death trap. The thing was smaller than a vintage Mini though they are driven in and draws a following in Italy. I bought a vintage bicycle for more than what I would have payed for the little Fiat. I think I passed up a good one, bummer!
Well it’s safer than a motorcycle maybe not to slow but it’s got wipers ,heater, and dry feet suspect it’s not a hwy car , I’ve no idea what they sell for 400$ sounds cheap.
Looked them up prices up to 25000$
For a few hundred $$ you guys should have purchased them. A decent one goes for about $10K now days.
