A car should be comfortable, stylish and affordable. It should offer enough space to carry five people, and it should easily fit into your budget. The Fiat  Classic checks all the right boxes. Check out this Fiat Classic review.

Vintage Moschino

When I am driving vintage cars my Italian clothes have to match my lifestyle. I am wearing a vintage wool Moschino cardigan with crotchet cuffs and collars.

 Back To The Past

Fiat 508
The 508 Balilla was a compact car designed and developed by Fiat in 1932. It was, effectively, the replacement of the Fiat 509, although production of the earlier model had ceased back in 1929. It had a three-speed transmission (increased to four in 1934), seated four, and had a top speed of about 50 mph (80 km/h).

The Perfect Second Car and the road price varies and is very economical to drive. The manual transmission is so much fun to use.

Tuscany

When in Tuscany the reason we come is for the food, views, fashion, and classic car experience. I live on an estate with amazing Tuscany views. One of my passions is driving classic cars. I loved doing the jaguar UK Classic car track experience.

But for me owning classic cars is about the lifestyle and reliving the engineering of the past. Connecting with an era of the past and how it would have been like to drive in those years. I love the clunkiness and the changing of the gears. It’s all about driving and living in the understanding that the car may break down. I love observing the engineering and the handmade skill used to create these fabulous cars.

Love the emotion these cars give me. The owner is 23 years old and he loves taking it out with his mates to the beach.

Fiat started making cars in 1899. The company is still around today, making cars like the 500, Balilla, Spider, Topolino, and the Panda.

Tuscan Hills

The views and hills where I live are spectacular. It’s like living in a fairytale. The narrow roads, the food, the vineyards, and olive trees are just a reminder of why so many would love to live here in Italy.

Fiat 500

This has to be Italy’s iconic car. originally built for small cities as a cheap car. But now this vintage car is used on a Sunday outing exploring with family or friends the views of Tuscany. This car is slow and small and it’s all about the lifestyle.

This particular colour beige was one of the first original colours used. I personally love red.

Fiat Balilla

Fiat Balilla for more is an elegant car with beautiful engineering. I adore the blood ox colour. The cloth interior is beautiful. This car is like the clothes that my mother wore. I love the history it oozes. I would wear a shift dress with this car.

Tuscany

As a mother of two, I love taking my children in classic cars to teach them history, lifestyle, and the way men and women progressed throughout history in the automobile industry. I wonder what 1920s vintage clothing they wore?

It’s a tough lockdown life right now and I do this for my mental health and overcoming this crazy world.

The cc petrol engine, filter and fuel type is why these cars are so much fun to drive.  If you are seeking to buy a car make sure you opt for dealer details that can help you with future brake downs.
