Even if Fiat started making cars all the way in 1899, World War I put a stop to production. The 501 was the first model to come out of the Fiat plant after the conflict ended. It started production in 1919.
This Fiat 501 was sold as new to Australia and equipped with this Tourer body made by Melbourne Motor Body Co. After long time in Australia, the car was in 1990 sold to UK and later in 2012 to Czech Republic. Now it is in a good, drivable condition and with lovely patina.
