1968 Fiat 500F | Blackmore End, Hertfordshire

The Fiat 500F is the small Italian city car with a rear-mounted, air-cooled twin and a compact, cheerful body. Front-hinged doors arrived on the F in 1965, and its fabric roof rolls back for an open-air view. It is liked for its simplicity and its period Italian looks. This 1968 car is Blue with a White interior, a light, clean pairing that reads well against stone, greenery or a pale backdrop. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side, which also gives it a continental look in shot. It seats four, and its small body leaves plenty of room in the frame for the location. That suits advertising, photography and fashion shoots, and film and TV scenes set in 1960s Italy or continental Europe. Its scale also works well for event displays and music video sets. It makes a charming arrival car for a wedding or a birthday too. The car is based in St Albans, Hertfordshire.
