Hi the same with my Mum around 1970 (two Fiat 500), but unfortunately I was not allowed To pull the lever; but I was fascinated by her swing with choke, starter, geer stick and pedals 😊
I don't recommend starting with the car in gear. Clutch down is always a good idea in any manual transmission car. But the gear level should be in neutral, not first. Nor do you want your right foot on the brake; you will want it ready by the throttle .
My first car was a 1972 Fiat 500 - I had it for 21 years and loved every second. I don't understand why you think you have to start it in first gear. Neutral with the clutch down (reduce stress on the starter) but in first gear's just pointless. My switches were wipers on the right, then first on the left was the headlamp and the second was the dashboard light. My key was on the column and the keyhole on the dash had a silver blanking plate. Indicators on the left (short stalk) and high/low beam on the long stalk. The lever behind the driver's seat (passenger seat on those driving in countries on the wrong side of the car) controlled the heater. Did yours have the primitive cruise control on the central air ducting under the dash? Fabulous cars.
No, incorrect explanation! Left short lever switch is for turn signal lights and longer left lever switch is for toggling between low beam and high beam front lights. On the dash there are three switches and upper position is off and down position is on; 1st switch is for position lights/parking lights, 2nd switch is for low beam lights (toggling with left longer lever between low beam and high beam lights), 3rd switch is for one speed wiper windshield motor on. With the finger under the dash you mechanically pump the washer fluid on windshield. On the dash left round indicator is for both turn signal sides indicator on and on the right side is round high beam on indicator which lit blue. On the floor there are two levers; left lever is choke and right lever is starter. There is one more lever on the floor behind front seats on central tunnel which is for moving air flap for entering warm air from engine into the cabin.
this video is useless. why is the guy just pointing the camera to her face? you needed to show how properly use the gear and do the "doppietta". Plus, why do you have to start in 1st gear? you can put it in neutral, also you don't need to press the brake, it's not a damn automatic transmission.
Andrea M I have one, 1970. Never start any car in any gear; it's neutral and clutch depressed. Also, the left hand side stalk at the back is headlights, dipped and main beam.. A switch on the dashboard is wipers.
Jesus..... does this woman think we’re from mars and 4 years old?This is the clutch.....this is the steering wheel?! 😂. Lost the will to live before she turned a wheel
... erg aparte manier van starten... veel onnodige handelingen... En het het belangrijkste werd niet genoemd:Het terug schakelen met tussengas.. ivm het ontbreken van synchronisatie ringen in de transmissie.. Al met al... onvolledige info!

You are so lucky to get to drive that.
P.S. The lever in the back is for the low and high beams, there's a switch on the dashboard to turn the wipers on :P
Fun video. My '60 has suicide doors, and no matter how many times I try, I always approach the rear of the door!
Memories of my mums blue fiat 500 in the 60s my job to pull the lever to start it. Great little car.

Lovely nail colour!
Nice vid, I enjoyed! I made a much less cute/more technical video on how to use the gearbox in the 500, in case someone is struggling!
Your video is actually useful. I really enjoyed it!!! This video however has nothing to do with "driving".
No, incorrect explanation!

Yes that's the correct explanation, im amazed how she doesn't know it and upload this 😅
Brava Michelle, bellissima fiat 500 :-)
I didn't understand why you started in first. Regardless, aren't you supposed to open the choke then pull the starter leaver?
buon giorno signora michelle hartman peccato che non tieni tutta accelerata e feare sentire il motore accelerare forte forte grazie ciao
Compliments, nice video and explain very well how the 500 works ... beautiful girl with a wonderful car
Ottimo 👍 cos'è 500 F?
LOVE FIAT 500
Do i have to bress the brake when on Neutral?
Would you make a revving video with the fiat 500?
Let me just slam this door open and closed a few more times 😆
I went here to learn how to double clutch but now I just slam doors open and close 5 times and honk da horn before is drive off

Did you have to use the choke lever (next to the starter) to start it from cold?
ollyrees no, I didn't have to use the choke lever to start it
Yes from cold, no if engine is warm.
do more vids like this
what a crap, you are not supposed to put the shift stick into first gear position to start the engine. And the wiper switch see comment below.

you needed to show how properly use the gear and do the "doppietta".
