No Reserve: 1961 Fiat 600 Multipla

The vehicle is a rare, No Reserve classic from Italy - a 1961 Fiat 600 Multipla. Introduced in the early 60s amidst economic boom and post-war recovery, this Multipla displays distinctive, egg-crate headlights fronting an aerodynamic body, a reflection of its era's design trends. Noteworthy is its innovative, versatile interior with two rows of side-facing seats for up to six passengers, a unique layout still unmatched in modern cars today. Despite its age, the Multipla maintains a surprisingly modern feel, thanks in part to its disc brakes at all four wheels and a sophisticated independent suspension, all packaged in a compact car weighing less than a tonne. The 700 cc, lightweight rear-mounted engine coupled with the Multipla's light curb weight delivers an impressive power-to-weight ratio. It is indeed a testament to Fiat's pioneering spirit and timeless design that continues to captivate enthusiasts worldwide.
