I saw this the other day, and being that it was on sale for half price, I couldn't say no. Had it been full price, I'd have thought about it longer.
I haven't put the wing mirrors on yet.

The interior is a little flimsy, but one would expect this with a more value priced, child's toy. Even though it makes sense to make something a little more robust for little kids to bash around. The bright pink will go eventually I'm sure. I need to figure out how to take it apart nicely first.
The doors open and it accommodates two dolls. I'm sure you could jam a small Phicen in there, maybe a Pop Toys or even a Hasbro Joe. I've not tried yet.

Fiat 500. probably about 50 miles to the gallon in the real versions. I had an old Fiat 126, it has a 650cc engine, the original Fiat 500s, had a 500cc engine. Both were air cooled.
Great little cars. I had mine during my University years. Got me from home to Uni every day for four years.

Fiat 500 with the convertible top! I really wanted one of these when they first came out!
Fiat stopped manufacturing the convertible top model a few years ago, and now the 500 2-door has been discontinued.
I'm glad your crew were able to obtain one! Looks like a fun little ride!

JohnnyE4, better than the Hummers I hope!
Colin, you might need to get one of these yourself, throwback in 1/6!
SCU_HQ, it's pretty cool! I'd like to see that little coupe get the Mattel treatment!
Kimono Troop Command, I couldn't go wrong at half price.

At least the exterior is NOT Barbie-pink! The interior does need a bit of de-Barbie-ing though. I have a very similar item and for MAM the legroom is a bit of an issue, plus the fact that any "masculine" doll will tend to look more than a bit pooncy sitting in it!

LyStryge, I have one character who some might call "poncey" enough. Though I think he is manly, in his own way. For members from the UK, they get points if they know the inspiration. There is my description from the post on Men With Dolls forum.
Thanks inntruderr61!

Great pick up Sarah! The car will work well for the character you have in mind for it!

He's definitely gone a bit heavy on the botox and dermal fillers.....

The beret keeps his ego contained? I think of a beret as an ego amplifier!

Maybe a VAM would fit a little better?, particularly one of the earlier types (i.e. NOT a BP version). If not, maybe a Timeless Joe body, they are noticeably shorter than any of the vintage types.
