Italian Car Day at Brooklands

May 10, 2016 By pete

This 1965 Fiat 850 Coupe benefited from spending the first 50 years of her life enjoying Italian Sunshine. Behind on the banking is a rather more recent baby performance Fiat, namely a 100 HP Panda.To the left of the shot is an even quicker Fiat, or should I say 500 Abarth.
