Fiat marks the Nuova 500’s 60th birthday again

Sixty years ago this month Fiat introduced the 'Nuova' 500. Apparently, it's an anniversary that demands two celebratory special editions: the Sessantesimo was announced in March, now the Anniversario has arrived.

Available in 500 hatchback and 500C convertible guises, the Anniversario has an unashamedly old-fashioned look thanks a set of retro 16” alloy wheels, extra chrome and various vintage-style badges. Riviera Green and Sicilia Orange – two new paint shades exclusive to this variant – complete the effect.

Inside, the specification includes striped fabric upholstery with body-coloured piping, as well as some bespoke embroidered floor mats.

The only engine being offered is a 1.2 litre, four-cylinder petrol unit that produces 68 bhp (51 kW / 69 PS). Prices for the 500 Anniversario start at £14,265, while the 500C Anniversario costs from £16,865.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
