1958 Fiat 600 Multipla | North Lopham, Norfolk

The Fiat 600 Multipla is a compact Italian people-carrier, liked for fitting six people into a very small footprint. Driver and front passenger sit over the front axle, which gives it a flat, upright nose. Its taxi version became a familiar sight in Italian cities. This 1958 car is blue outside and blue inside, in excellent condition, and it seats six. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side and the front passenger steps out on the road side, which adds a continental look. The upright one-box shape and short length suit photography, advertising and fashion shoots set in mid-century Italy, leaving room in shot for the setting. The taxi association helps on a 1950s or 1960s film or TV set, and an event can use it as a small, characterful arrival. A wedding or birthday works well too. The car is based in North Lopham, Norfolk.
