Welcome To Karl Goodwin Motors Ltd, Just Into Stock Is This Absolutely Stunning 1937 Fiat Topolino 500 A, Finished In A Striking Yellow And Red Paint Scheme Inspired By The Beloved Noddy Stories By Enid Blyton. Believed To Be The First Ever Factory-Built Right-Hand Drive Topolino, This Charming And Highly Collectible Classic Is A Rare Piece Of Automotive History That Is Sure To Turn Heads Wherever It Goes. When The Fiat 500 Topolino Nicknamed The Little Mouse Was First Introduced, It Was One Of The Smallest Cars In The World And Marked The Beginning Of Fiats Legendary 500 Line. It Quickly Became An Icon Across Europe And Remains One Of Italys Most Recognisable Classic Cars. Known As The Noddy Car, This Particular Example Has A Truly Fascinating History. It Is Believed To Have Been Built At The Request Of A British Lady While Travelling Through Sicily With Her Husband. After Seeing The Topolino On The Roads, She Approached The Fiat Factory And Requested A Right-Hand Drive Version. The Factory Agreed, With The Car Subsequently Built And Shipped To Southampton, Making It Believed To Be The First Ever Factory-Built Right-Hand Drive Topolino. By 2012, The Car Required A Full Restoration, And A Dedicated Enthusiast Undertook An Incredible Labour Of Love, Investing Over 3,000 Hours To Return It To The Stunning Condition You See Today. Rather Than A Standard Factory Restoration, The Car Was Beautifully Reimagined As A Tribute To Noddys Famous Topolino, Creating A Unique And Instantly Recognisable Show Car. Having Attended Numerous Classic Car Shows And Charity Events, This Delightful Fiat Is Ready For Its Next Custodian. Retaining Its Original 88-Year-Old Registration, Beautifully Restored Interior And Wonderful Provenance, It Represents A Rare Opportunity To Own A Truly One-Of-A-Kind Piece Of Motoring History That Never Fails To Raise A Smile Wherever It Goes. This is a truly unique and charming pre-war classic that combines fascinating provenance, an extensive restoration, and unmistakable character. Whether displayed at classic car shows, enjoyed at rallies or simply admired in a private collection, this remarkable Fiat Topolino is guaranteed to attract attention and bring smiles wherever it goes.
