The Autobianchi Bianchina is a variant of the Fiat Nuova 500. It has the same dimensions (3 meters long) and the same powertrain, just in a more stylish shell.

Norwegian Fiat Register visits Vespa at Fornebu

When the members of the Norwegian Fiat Register go on a trip, what is more natural than to greet their two-wheeled relatives, the Vespa? At the old flight tower at Fornebu can be found Culture on wheels, a small technical museum that includes Norway's largest collection of Vespas. If you like Italy, you like Vespa - and Fiat.
 
Several beautiful vintage cars and youngtimers were lined up in the car park outside Odonata, where food is served on Sundays.

 

- Here are some pictures.

 

These two Autobianchi's are an eye-catcher wherever they travel. A two million Ferrari could not cause more attention.,,,

The Fiat 500 Abarth Essesse is a rare sight on the road. Note the four exhaust pipes. The 1,4 liter petrol engine with 160 HP should guarantee a high fun factor.

The Fiat 508 is very beautiful inside, and quite roomy for being 4 meters long. This is a pre-war Fiat 508C, also called 1100 "Balilla".

When Fiat enthusiasts need a family car, the Croma Mk2 is a natural choice. Produced between 2005 and 2011 on the same platform as the Opel Vectra and Saab 93, but only in station wagon version. The Croma mk2 was imported to Norway from 2009. The pictured car has a 1,9 MultiJet Diesel with 120 HP. It never became a big seller - neither here nor anywhere else. While this is being written, there are 15 Croma's in very good condition for sale on Finn.no...

Fiat Barchetta from between 1995 and 2002. A modern car with a special look. I think it looks best from the back.

Time to move on. The Nuova 500 is only 3 meters long. Today's 500 is a monster in comparison.
Time to move on. Here a "Nuova 500" perhaps the "L version" with its extended bumper corners?
