Perfect color. Just like in Lupin the Third.
and luigi in cars
I love you man
Don't forget Chainsaw Man!
One where Lupin the Third would be proud of
You r amazing
I love old unsafe cars like this because they offer a sensation of reward and feeling alive when you arrive at a destination.
unsafe? thats what she said
VALLY I drove one once with a crash helmet on...
Every journey is an adventure.
Except when you don’t arrive alive 😂

Kobeni's Car's Owner's Car from Chainsawman looks so cool in this video!
This car is just so adorable.😂
Full of character.
The muffler dancing back and forth while you're revving it up in your garage, is bit hilarious.
It's like a little terrier wagging its tail ready to go on a run.
Car: Fiat 500.
Exhaust: Nanni?
Yup! Buzzy!
I see what you did there
Kobeni i see she has a great taste for cute and adorable things💛
Get in! *jumps back in and pulls lever, rocketing down the road as swinging jazz starts playing*
I don't know why but i want one
Nuhan Hidayat drive one you won’t 😂
@@evorobin true dat 😅
@@evorobin Seems like a run down non working one is a perfect candidate for BEV Swap. With a 80lb/ft BEV drive train is could be silly fun.
ruclips.net/video/yI1pLvyDtI4/видео.html - Sibbling 600 Giardinetta BEV swapped.
Because it’s lovely.
Mee too
Do you keep it under the stairs at home ?
Sort of, yes.
Every time I see this car I think of Lupin the 3rd
The last time I owned a Fiat 500 was in 1982 and was the cheapest car in Rome I could find which of course left me stranded one morning on the side of the road where I parked it in a secluded country road just north of Rome on the via Cassia. Of course the next day when I went back it was gone and the Italian police laughed when I reported it stolen, she was never seen again. Same story for my Italian curvaceous girlfriend which ended my vacanze romane!
Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all. I think Tennysson said that, but it fits Italian romances, doesn't it?
@@dickvonduisberg2356 I would love to get my hands on the throat of the bastard who stole my car but then again Italy is a country of poets, saints, and thieves!
I have a new Fiat 500. Reason I have it is because it's only modern car that has that classic feel. I cannot afford a daily driver classic, so Fiat 500 fits the bill perfectly. Nothing better then revving the little Fiat and feeling like I'm going 100kmph, when in reality I am doing 60. Nothing beats it for licence-preserving fun.
That looks just like Kobeni's car from Chainsaw Man
What is it with souped up 5oos turning up in my life all the Time lately!?
This, Lupin III., a lovely 695 Abarth I was fortunate enough to be allowed to take for a spin, giving me the biggest, most cheeky shit-eating grin a human can have…
Life has been quite meh lately, but the cars are superb!
they are almost indestructible, they use very little gas, and if they do break they cost almost nothing to repair. That's why Rome is still packed with tons of these old 500s.
indestructible, yes. Safe? mmmmmm.
@@valerianaranjocruz25 Hmm well I guess in the event of a crash it's not the best. Though it's typically used only in the city, in very high traffic density situations. You're always under 60 miles an hour either way. Not something ideal for the highway.
@@777lucifero exactly, this is a car for quiet/small cities, definitely not for highways. Its crumble zone is technically non- existing so you really don't want to be in a crash inside this little nugget. Otherwise, lovely car.
@@valerianaranjocruz25 Right, this guy doesn't agree with your safety issues lol. Posted it somewhere else too but probably you havent seen it, in another comment imgur.com/a/p71PZBT. spotted in Rome last year, one of the 150 of that model left, pimped up too (see silver/metal plaque in back, abart 695). (scroll down for 2nd pic)
My (650-engined) '67 500F has two medallions hanging from the mirror: St. Francis and Our Lady of Ghisallo. You never can have too much protection!
AKA the Lupinmobile.
NOTHING is more fun at 20MPH!
This was my dedicated car for Hooning around in Gran Turismo 4... It was light blue and alongside installing every possible upgrade, I also managed to snap up some matte black racing wheels for it. Definitely one of my all time favorite vehicles *:D*
I'll be honest, I thought about skipping this video. I'm so glad I didn't, this was lovely.
I'll be honest, I thought about not making this video. I'm so glad I didn't, your comment is lovely. (Thanks!)
Confusing myself with double negatives there...
"Hey Luigi, this new road makes your place look like a DUMP."
Seems a bit unfair to me to define the 500 as an impractical car. Every inch of that car was designed with practicality in mind.
it has the interior of a 500L .
My 1972 Fiat 500 with Spax lowered suspension, front disc brakes and 650 engine with an unleaded Panda cylinder head is very capable of big mileages! With the members of the Fiat 500 Club I covered 400 miles a month ago in Norfolk! We had 29 historic 500’s out & about. Last year several drove over to Austria!! We’ve Club members driving all over including up to Scotland. I get 48mpg! These are fantastic fun & very capable cars!
Great! I think my car is the same spec. We feature such roadtrips in our magazine, see here - www.performancepublishing.co.uk/mp.html
No ecu, no duel mass fly wheel, no warning buzzers.great little cars.
Weirdly both pistons arrive together at tdc, one on compression one on exhaust!
Had one in 1981, drove it daily and often at 100 km/h (or even 105 km/h) and never felt terrified.
you managed to make this thing get to 100 km/h? wicked.
You Guys do not know anything other than Perfection in everything you produce! Keep it going please.
In love with the 500, this took me back to when I had one, I wish I still had it!
Now I want one
Baggyness? We don' need no stinkin' baggyness! Beautiful yellow 500, sir. Excellent car, all your concerns go out the window......that's the way cars were back then and you said it: primitive. Oh yeah! Let me have that wheel!
'72 is the same year as my 500. A fine vintage!
Cheers!
bellissima
This is not a car for speed or performance but 100% sure that people look more at you with this car than with any of the other ones.
They do!
Car is very very cute i love it ❤️❤️
Those alloy wheels OMG :O
Minilite wheels are cool on many old small cars :)
@@Hvitserk67 I love 'em!
0:49 - OMAE WA MO SHINDERU
Lupin III
Only the italians would build a car with Catholic Guilt and Original Sin included at no charge.
I have to agree, 1972 was a great year as it was also the year I was born. That is certainly a great little car by the way!
Cheers! I also have two 1972 pushbikes and nearly bought a leaky boat from the same year...
Congratulation, beautiful video and the car is gorgeous too.
In Italy there are a lots of fiat 500 cause this little car is a legend. There are also 500 with tuned engine up to 75 hp, with that weight is a little pocket rocket.
In reality it's quite good weight distribution. I've smoked much bigger and new car in corners, especially in strict cornerners. You can just throw it in 180 corner, turn steering wheel and you're out. Nice handling. And for 17.5 hp it's quite fast. I've made more than 110 kmh.
Have you tried overhauling the steering box or checked the rubber in the steering system? It may just be that some of the components are a little tired.
It's on the 'to do' list. Thanks.
These are so engaging to drive , its like go karting every time you take it out. I love mine
Here is a clip of the lupin the third live action movie 0:59
0:49 Nani? 😂
omae wa mou shindeiru! 😂
I was waiting for him to get chased by a certain inspector
*Lupin Trois played in background*
Mmmmm same colour as pack man !
It's Agip yellow, apparently (hence the little sticker on the engine cover). I love it.
People go on and on about the Fiat 500 but the Fiat 600 came out first and was a far better and cuter car, and it continued to be made long
after the 500 bit the dust. Your 500 is a nice one though and I love the colour.
Rich should def do more films! Not enough of him!
Thanks! There's another one in the edit already and plans for similar silliness on the horizon. PS - I also have a magazine you might like - www.performancepublishing.co.uk/mp.html
Lupin the Third anyone???
the crucifix is a second car key?
I’m going to get one and put it in my Alfa Romeo. Thank you for the tip 👍
@@oceanthirteen1628 Never had one in my Alfa, which broke a lot.....
It is to 🙏 to you that are needing.
Excellent my Folks use to have a place in the midi Pyrenees back in the 80s my Mother had a tampered with fiat 500...it use to do shop beach run....fond memories
It needs the crucifix to keep going 😂
Just make your own tv show already!! The quality of each and every one of your videos are on point. I would be more than happy to pay a premium to watch your episodes. 🇦🇺
1972 is definitely a good year, I was born that year as well
Beautiful car! Amazing footage! I want one!
Absolutely loved everything about this film! Props to Rich and the whole team!
Thanks! I really appreciate that.
searching for Chainsaw man comments 👀
Brilliant video! Have you ever considered a Fiat 850 coupe? My Dad changed our prehistoric Hilman Minx for one in 1972, to us kids it felt like a Ferrari.
YES! I love them. I wrote about the 850 Coupe in MotorPunk magazine, I will own one someday but they're super rare in the UK it seems - www.performancepublishing.co.uk/mp.html
@@dickvonduisberg2356 Awesome car, it looks like a shrunk rear engined Fiat Dino coupe. I look forward to recieving my (just ordered) magazine. If you have time checkout the classics on my channel.
@@henryhol8538 Thanks Henry! Drop me an email via the motorpunk website if you like.
My Dad bought one of these for £10 about 1976.
Probably worth that now!
Your other cars have more Kerbside appeal?
Have to disagree with that. The 500 is one of the coolest things on the road. I saw a baby blue one at the Affordable Classic Car Show and fell in love.
They're impossible not to love!
Great wheel fitment, Any chance you know the width and offset?
I will check and come back to you!
I have the strangest urge to become a gentleman thief after watching this
Eni logo making the car cool 😎
It's AGIP yellow, apparently, hence the little logo :)
Perfection
Grazie.
What a coincidence! I was reading about this car just 1 hour ago!
I love how basic the car is inside😎
I wanted to do a walk around. The only luxuries are a tiny ash tray and a door pocket for matches. It's weirdly roomy inside, I have taken 4 people on a short journey in it (although 75% of them chose to walk home)...
Very nice car.
Great video!
Thanks!
That little car is asking for a busa swap,oh hell yea!
KOBENI’S CAR
Great vid. Different, insightful and fun.
Kerbside appeal? This car has bags of it!
Lupin, Lupin, lupin, lupin, lupin, the thiiiiiiird
Just imagine my parents in the 60s: 3 or 4 people inside one of those (with luggages) down the Autostrada del Sole, from northern to southern Italy. 600 odd miles of mental motoring.
Fantastic. We Brits got Ford Cortinas, rain and caravan holidays in Devon :(
Excellent video!
So you were forced to put back the rosary even when you dont really believe on it? 😂 I like the car though, even if it's unsafe, slow, or any other negative things throw in this car, I just wanna have one. 👍
The Castle Of Cagliostro car
Fun, charming car, but only out in the country where he was driving. I bought the later generation 500 Pop when they came out in the States in 2011 as a play car. It was quite solid but I never felt comfortable on the highways. Looking back at this model, he wasn't kidding about it being a death trap.
Hey Carfection, where is the video on 911-992 vs Lotus Evora? Have been waiting some time for that
Keep these coming! I loved the other videos presented by this gent and his acolyte back in the Xcar / early carfection time. Wonderful!
"Gent" - I'm more of a scallywag than gent. Thanks though! :-)
@@dickvonduisberg2356 Don't be so hard on yourself :) What happened though, why aren't we seeing more of you on this channel?
@@TeslasSecret There's a film on Russian cars we made, currently in the edit, but we're really busy with a magazine we own - www.performancepublishing.co.uk/mp.html More films later this year, I hope.
Great vid, cheers. Off to the classifieds to look at ‘75 cars.
Buy one. Report back!
Steering on the left? Was it a model for the American market or were things different back then?
European model, this example was originally sold in rome but imported to UK.
nice series guys, more please!
Great video of a beautiful car!
❤️FIAT 500
*Bambino*
That was a treat and a delight!
love the start😂
Great video! Really enjoyed it.
LUPIIIIIN!
Loved it!!!
Is Catchpole still with Carfection? Kinda miss him.
Lupin?
Lupin the third!
Born in 1972! Old fart, I was born in 1976 so I'm less of an old fart, but an old fart all the same.
Old fart solidarity!
Stand together, and linger!
Amen! Embrace the hairy ears and weak bladders, brother! (OK, maybe not).
Qué medidas y peso tiene ese Fiat?, saludos
Info on Wiki here - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiat_500 :)
Whenever I see this guy I remember that poor GTV :(
The poor GTV now has a nicer owner than me. It deserved it, too.
Nice video. I want to see Henry sitting passenger (or trying), just grinning. Challenge accepted?
We'd have to dismember him first. I'm only 5'10" ish and look massive in the film!
Je ne sais pas.! C'est bien la voiture qui inspire le le prince Miiaou. Enzo F.
Iv got the 71 L and I fined it fun, also have the 2.0 Audi a1 competition and i can honestly say I tell every one I rather drive the fiat, 13k fiat Vs 23k Audi fiat wins oh also shopping back seats and am able to reach to the bags and get myself a drink
