Exactly 50 years after the release of the original 500, Fiat launched the new 500 – which borrows more than a few styling clues from the original. It has brought new buyers to the Fiat fold (possibly lured away from the Mini) and continued the passion for those who loved the original. Giovanni Nustrini is one such enthusiast, and his passion for the little 500 has played a starring role in his life and that of his family. Giovanni is the proud owner of this lovely 1973 Fiat 500 F-model which has been in his possession since 2002. Far from being the first 500 Giovanni has owned, this yellow Bambina is one in a succession of such cars that leads back to his childhood when his father owned one, but it wasn’t until 1982 that Giovanni first got to have a 500 to himself.
