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 / fuel / 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 quite good – 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. A very usable and enjoyable example.
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:
A charming and well-sorted classic that blends originality with practical upgrades—ready for immediate enjoyment.
