English

The New Zealand story of the italian motoring icon the Fiat 500, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2007. This is a picture driven history of the cars place in New Zealand's curious industrial landscape of the 1950s and 1960s, as well as its "life" - the racing, the owners, the excursion to Antarctica. It is an affectionate look at the fiat 500 in the market furthest from its native Italy. There is a dual text in both English and Italian.

Italian

Creata in Italia, montata in Nuova Zelanda (dove è stata soprannominata Bambina), questa icona dell'ingegneria motoristica italiana unita al tipico approccio pragmatico neozelandese si è ritagliata una vita propria agli antipodi. È stata iscritta a competizioni su pista, spedita in Antartide ed utilizzata come pedina nelle politiche industriali. Questo volume celebra il cinquantesimo anniversario di questa famosissima vettura. Il libro si può trovare qui.
