+bongmistt I haven't found anything on RUclips like this channel. It's so exquisite: "of special beauty or charm, or rare and appealing excellence". Lovely. It shows so much that "they" care about automobiles in such a deep and special way. I love it.
+Samuel Chattergoon Not at all. The Ypsilon is a very beautiful car, very original and unique with a very personal design, that elevate the car from the boring alternatives of its segment (apart from Fiat 500 and Mini, being the only other two with a nice design). It's a very nice looking car and has luxury interiors (for his price and segment) and tons of customizations.
As a younger goldsmith/ jewelry designer and a car nut, I don't think that this could have been more inspiring to me. Thank you Scott for sharing your story and, in turn, putting my goals back in focus. Sometimes all you need is to see that it can be done. This was just what I needed right now... as I have been feeling a little lost as of late. With a little more bounce in my step, I head back to the bench and continue to try and build my dreams, one ring at a time. Thank you Scott once again!... and if you ever need a CAD guy, maybe we should talk. :-).... Oh, amazing car by the way! I love it!
Of course ! From the very 1st moment .. my feelings said -Jewel ! Never have a seen a more beautiful series of jewel-like aspects.. I give it best finished dash board,steering wheel,knobs that have ever pierced my eye balls ! Thank you for this wonderful story !
This was a wonderful video in your series. 1) The car. Wonderful. Cute. Reminds you of the simplicity of purpose of our cars that too often gets lost beneath the latest gadgets. 2) His perspective: An owner is merely a piece of a car's history. That is part of the power of the Petrolicious series, the profundity that comes from these stories. Thank you!
Love these Petro guys! I'm I the only one who was taken back by the exhaust note of this car. I was completely surprised and expected something more high pitched!
It's funny how small the drivers seat is compared to the passenger seat! Amazing car, I have always loved Zagotos and are with out doubt my favorite coach builder. It also looks like he has a lovely museum.
Love the details especially the massive Zagato Z showing through the grille. I have a Lancia Fulvia Zagato which has very similar proportions to this car.
zagatos are always special cars even in that format of the "people's" post war italian car.I hope we may see more of that gentleman's fine automobiles in the future !
This is "not" a FIAT, it is a ZAGATO Creation based on a 500 FIAT Chassis, everything above alloy body , interior design, Motor tuning was refined by Zagato and maybe Abarth, a n independent then in the early fifties. On the front grille is a big Z to show this. The plate "750 MM" shows that the 500cc 4 cylinder was opened up to 750 cc and equipped with 2 double barrel carbs, the power war pushed from 13,5hp (net) to 28 or 30hp and some of these cars did really compete at the Mille Miglia in the class up to 750cc.
regardless of the negative, it is a beautiful little car. lovingly restored. Lancia made shit boxes as well but when it was right it was very right. same goes for this little car
Another great video - many thanks. One minor criticism, it might have been good to show a pic of the original Topolino to show what Zagato had to work from?
Awesome!!! Such a cool shape... Google "Zagato Panoramica" if you wanna see more cars like this (this style wasn't limited to Topolinos). The shot from behind the greenhouse @ 2:47 really gives the full effect.
This was a great one! As always, I wonder about the location of the driving and I often (not so much in this one, but in many others) wonder about the music. How about just including those in the video notes every time?
Interesting that the drivers seat is a lot smaller (narrower) than the passenger seat. Maybe that was a weight saving measure and they removed the passenger seat in a race ? Good video. Rob
Those sunset shots... Wow! Also question: why is it "the only one left"? Was the production too small? Like 10 cars or something? I mean it is aluminum.
+Mikhail Evtushenko It looks like either Arizona or New Mexico to me... Anyone know where this man's museum is? This car is gorgeous, I want to see it...
There was no Topolino "four door"... And I saw one of this in a car show in Italy some seven years ago (and perhaps also at Retromobile, but I'm no longer sure) . Was this car?
This channel never fails to deliver - thank you.

Oliver Burke - I wholeheartedly agree with your comments. :)
Oh, it's failed on numerous occasions before......why expect different here????
That Fiat does not look like any car from 1949 at all. That thing's beautiful. I want one.
yes it looks like a car from around 1961-1963 these were ahead of its time
+Connor Tierney it looks like an early 50's car, still lovely, not a 60's car
+Samuel Chattergoon It looks like the current Lancia Ypsilon. Or the Ypsilon looks like it.
Maybe. Except that the Ypsilon looks like shit. This Fiat looks like art on wheels.

Such a pretty little thing!
Nobody does automotive design like the Italians. Cool car to go with a Cool owner.
Such smooth beautiful lines, the chrome details, the grille
A real gem

What a wonderful car !
I'm impressed by the quality of the restauration ! Congratulations !
Yes, I heard the food there is good too..
+chrisfi3d Italian food is the best of the world ! :)
+IROCMAN666 They do some nice ice creams too
and some nice wines as well
nice to see that even though it's the only one known to be left in the world he is still driving it and it's not stuck in a museum.
The grill alone is art..
...capolavoro!!!!!!!!!
I like his "Anything could be restored" attitude. Beautiful car and a nice philosophy.
How did I not see this! Not only do I know Scott but I also no that car and have photographed it a few times. Amazing car.

This Channel is so underrated , so glad it's getting more popular
Topolino is Mickey mouse in Italian. Such a lovely little car!
Marten Dekker Topolino in Italy IS mickey mouse, I never said it means. I know cause I'm Italian.
lovely little car, and the owner has the right attitude too
Best one yet. Great Owner, wonderful experience. Long live the Zagato Topolino.
This is another beautiful car in an excellent condition too. I love the landscape as well.
Some of the wisest petrolhead words I've ever heard in a single video, lovely car! Cheers!
Love these Petro guys! I'm I the only one who was taken back by the exhaust note of this car. I was completely surprised and expected something more high pitched!
Stunning in every way.
Absolutely beautiful little car.
Man and his machine. Thank you.
Elegant design and detailing. Perfecto!
It's funny how small the drivers seat is compared to the passenger seat! Amazing car, I have always loved Zagotos and are with out doubt my favorite coach builder. It also looks like he has a lovely museum.
Excellent video…fantastic car and design…art at the top of its game…thanks
Love the details especially the massive Zagato Z showing through the grille. I have a Lancia Fulvia Zagato which has very similar proportions to this car.
beautiful work! Very well done and thanks for showing.
those red gauges are so beautiful
What an amazing little car! Perfect video thank you
Great video! Some tech spec never goes amiss. Cubic capacity, four-branch exhaust, LSD, close-ratio and so on. Kind of fills it out.
Cracking little car. Beautiful looking thing
beautiful car ! we don't own it we are just part of the car history .
+Miguel Ibarra A Custodian
zagatos are always special cars even in that format of the "people's" post war italian car.I hope we may see more of that gentleman's fine automobiles in the future !
THIS IS AMAZING
Funny little car. :)
I love how you make the restoration process look so easy :D
Wow. Other than the main windshield panes there isn't a flat piece of glass on that car! A beautiful collection of curves throughout the body, too.
I love that little car!
Noel
What a jewel this Fiat and it shouldn't be so rare, one of the few small engine cars with charisma

i ove how the engine sounds like its going to just burst!!! what a beauty ! Just this in my garage would make me rich!!
I,m going to be part of this car history....well done
fantastic car
Precioso. No hacen falta más palabras.
Charming vehicle!
Beautiful!
I love his perspective on him not being an owner, but a caretaker for next generations.
extraordinary beauty!
A quirky, but fascinating little car.
Extraordinary.
I just want to take this Little Mouse home and give it some cheese - and a hug.
What a beauty
regardless of the negative, it is a beautiful little car. lovingly restored. Lancia made shit boxes as well but when it was right it was very right. same goes for this little car
looks amazing
3:48 lancia fulvia zagato near what's probably an alfa romeo giulietta... i literally died in that frame
Very very cute car. Its like a toy! :)
Looks gloriously terrifying to drive. Those tires!! ahhh.
Another great video - many thanks. One minor criticism, it might have been good to show a pic of the original Topolino to show what Zagato had to work from?
Very Cool. Local Phoenix guy. I need to find that road he was on. Another great vid
awesome car
Cool car!!!😎
+Petrolicious Great work! Amazing shots! Nice light, and edit!
Beautifully hideous or hideously beautiful. I can't decide :-)
if you put some baseball cards in the spokes it would probably sound amazing lol
beautiful car!
This guy is awesome; I would love to have the skills (and temperament) he has.
that's a weird little car but I actually love it. Great video.
Awesome!!! Such a cool shape... Google "Zagato Panoramica" if you wanna see more cars like this (this style wasn't limited to Topolinos). The shot from behind the greenhouse @ 2:47 really gives the full effect.

My father has a fiat 500 C topolino...it's so cute and slow at the same time XD
Interesting that the drivers seat is a lot smaller (narrower) than the passenger seat.
Maybe that was a weight saving measure and they removed the passenger seat in a race ?
Good video.
Rob
When I was a wee little lad....I remember my baby pram looking like this....
So attractive!
Yaay.. 4K.. Finally...
What a beaut!
Same attitude as Jay Leno. He's not the owner of the car, he's just the current caretaker. I love it. I love the car, too.
Another great car, Fiat Topolino Zagato, should be badged "Zagato Jewel"! ;-)
learn something every day.
bellissima!
Cute little bubble car...well done
Those sunset shots... Wow! Also question: why is it "the only one left"? Was the production too small? Like 10 cars or something? I mean it is aluminum.
+Mikhail Evtushenko It looks like either Arizona or New Mexico to me... Anyone know where this man's museum is? This car is gorgeous, I want to see it...
+Alex B Phoenix
+Alex B, I saw Papago Park in the background. This was definitely filmed in Phoenix.
That did it! I'm a subscriber!
This is the most petrolicious car ever!!!
If made a retro version they'd sell a zillion...
Uncle Topolino!
Was this filmed in AZ?
4-door topolino? That's the first I've heard of those
incredible... is this part of a museum or shop?
+mees kohnevonjaski Museum
What a goofy looking car. The craftsman ship is amazing though. The dash was impressive.
Very nice video. Thank you. Also i want to watch a video about Fiat 131 Mirafiori. Can you prepare please?
BLISS!
There was no Topolino "four door"...
And I saw one of this in a car show in Italy some seven years ago (and perhaps also at Retromobile, but I'm no longer sure) .
Was this car?
a cool car
I found one at an estate sale last week.
1000 miles? I'd do that in a 2CV with 425cc and 12 hp.
Go safe!
Strangely seeing 2000 Nissan Micra.
Zag Zag!!
Not my type of car, but it's nicely done none the less.
Funny looking car but very beautiful.
Non sapevo nemmeno della sua esistenza...Grazie per la condivisione!
What is the aspect ratio of the video?
just wondering if there is any austin farina MKII out there that part of petrolicious
