1971 Fiat ‘Giannini’ 650NP Chassis: 110F2872174

Well-presented and thoughtfully upgraded example of the classic Fiat 500, finished in white over black interior and enhanced with period Giannini upgrades aimed at drivability and reliability, including a deep finned oil sump, rear-mounted oil cooler, and spin-on oil filter conversion. Induction is via a Weber carburetor, and the car is fitted with the Veglia instrumentation including tachometer / speedometer / oil pressure / water temp / voltmeter.

Perfect stance for fast road use with upgraded alloy wheels and new tires. The form_folllows_function looks are finished-off with engine cover props to aid cooling, consistent with vintage tuning practice.

Driving impressions are excellent: the car starts easily, pulls cleanly, and handles very well with light, engaging dynamics these cars are known for. Gearshift is precise, clutch is light, and braking performance is strong. Overall, a very usable and enjoyable example.

While presenting with Giannini badging and aesthetic cues I I don’t know the vehicles prior owner or history so this is best understood as a Giannini-style upgraded 500L rather than a documented factory Giannini conversion—making it an ideal driver-focused example with the right visual and mechanical enhancements.

Highlights:

• Giannini-style Veglia gauge cluster with oil pressure
• Weber carburetion
• Deep finned Giannini aluminum oil sump
• External oil cooler with braided lines
• Giannini spin-on oil filter housing
• Mille Miglia alloy wheels with new tires
• Period-correct engine lid prop

A charming and well-sorted classic that blends originality with practical upgrades—ready for immediate enjoyment.
