Lovely little cars.

Not as good as a proper classic British Mini, but good. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

Make them again, but with a suitable tiny modern engine and gearbox. :)

Probably not possible, because of current safety regs. :Brick:

I had a boss in the 70s who had one of those. The funny thing was that he was a huge hulk of a guy and the sight of him hunched and huddled behind the wheel keeping his head down so it didn't hit the roof was one I'll not forget in a while.

The tiniest 'people-carrier' ever ? :biggrin:

What about the 'Abarth' version of the 600... with permanently propped-open engine cover ? :smile:

I also remember a drag-racing 600, with a V8 in the back. :cwm24:
