That is beautiful !!

My Mom's first car was a Fiat 500 - back in the early sixties when I was still a kid. It was an early model (probably around 1958) with the plastic rear window and sunroof that folded back - navy blue in colour.

Still have a very soft spot for them - and if the right one comes my way, will grab it.

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.
