The 600 Multipla is one my favorite autos. Fiat packed a lot of neat features in this little gem.

[@raychambers3646]

With you on that on .

[@homebasebelgium359]

I love this! I learned to drive in a regular Fiat 600, 45 years ago.

[@gabrielantoniomartin7995]

Una locura como suena el motorcito! Lastima aquí en Argentina no se la fabricó!!!

Complimenti per il restauro, è bellissima un fascino sembra di vedere una bella signora, e quando passa ti giri. Ora sono tutte simili, grazie

I bought a 67 Fiat two-door sedan that had rust issues really bad, so I cut the sides out of an abandoned refrigerator and shaped them so I could screw them to the rocker panels and the backbone tunnel. I cut splits in the floor so I could thread a hose clamp through the splits, around a piece of half-inch plumbing pipe underneath each floor and around each seat runner. it was a cheap repair but it did what it had to do. Fun little car! That was in about 79 or 80

[@hernanmendez4455]

Me acuerdo haberlos visto cuando era un chico. Eran vehículos prácticos .Por supuesto no tenían la resistencia y velocidad de autos más grandes.Vi también una variante con puerta lateral corrediza que se usaba como furgon

In Addis Abeba Ethiopia they used to be white and blue taxis in the 1950s and 60s😄😌

What tire size is on that seems thicker than stock. You are able to let me know that would be amazing.

[@3carmodels]

Very nice car

[@peterduxbury927]

Interesting to see the complete restoration. I was also fascinated by the Unit which sits on top of the Carburettor. It looks like like a Motor / Blower to give some forced-air induction. But does it work well? It hardly matters that the restoration is not faithful to the original design, because the alternative may have been a Car Scrapyard to simply 'rust in piece'.

[@alanthorne3921]

Used to a see few of these here in Australia but I never looked inside.That spare tyre would make a great airbag.And who needs a whopping great gas guzzling wagon when you could fit the whole family in for a camping trip.Btw I still have a Corgi/Dinky model that’s pretty beat up from my youth.I might restore it to this lovely colours of the featured car.

[@trevorchambers1812]

Still have my model Multipla too! They were actually made by Tri-ang in their Spot-On range and the original colour of mine was midway between the two blue shades of the restored example in the video. Very rare to have seen these in England although they did sell quite a few in the Irish Republic where Fiat had a local assembly operation.

[@joemclaughlin995]

Absolutely class looking motor! Fiat should reintroduce this motor in original design again to the world,this time in ev form.

[@carloduroni5629]

Impossible. It wouldn't comply with crash rules.

[@jurivlk5433]

I had the Fiat 900T, the follower of the Multipla, same dashboard, same spare tire inside and camper interior. So fun, but rust killed it. Although today, I would say I should have repaired it, because prices are high. T his Multiple seems to have a 900 air cooled engine -mine was a 900 water cooled one. Did they build two types?

[@studiocalder818]

It seems a 127 engine

[@Chr.U.Cas2216]

I know that a lot of people behave similar. But please don't let rest your left foot on the clutch pedal! 😱 It will kill your clutch (especially the release bearing ) slowly but surely. Best regards luck and health to all involved people.

[@MrBonnuus]

I owned a 600 sedan, and now an 850 sport coupe, great cars, and yours look stunning. Now the 600 engine runs clockwise, and the 850 engine anticlockwise, I'm curious to know how this was solved when swapping engines in this Multipla.

[@massimocamorani8066]

It is quite easy job,u need a custom made crankshaft placed reversed from the original configuration.Don't ask me further details,but the idea is pretty much that

When I was 12 years old I saw this car near Poznan (Poland). I was fascinated about it. I didn't knew about engine. Was it 600 cm?

[@geppettogeppetto6236]

poi 750cc in fine 850 cc che veniva montato sulla Fiat 850. Motore sempre ripreso e aggiornato fino ad essere montato sulla Fiat 127 Special 903cc e Fiat Panda 45 sempre 903, portato a 1050cc nella versione sport. Poi sostituito dal fire di 1100 cc 1200cc etc

[@78a67h]

Beautiful restauration but people must at last understand that the value of these vehicles lies in their classic vintage NOT speed and performance characteristics. Like the greater part of this video is spent on trying to show how fast the car can go and take corners and there is proud mention of the engine upgrade to give it "more punch". The announced other video detailing relevant features of the vehicle sounds more promising.

[@raychambers3646]

My dad bought on in the 70s for £50 !

[@carltwidle9046]

The only thing about this car is in a head on collision 💥 with another front engined car it wouldn't come off well. But otherwise interesting design. I live in New Zealand and I remember back in the 1960s thses cars here on our roads. There weren't many though. The Fiat 500 Bambina were more popular.

[@danielependola1580]

@@agapitofioramonti381 Ma qui il problema non sono il numero delle feritoie del cofano motore, il problema è molto piu' grave, che quel motore che monta e che ovviamente è migliore da un punto di vista prestazionale, non è il suo da 633 CC e per un veicolo storico non avere il suo motore a parere mio è grave punto. Se si vuole fare del collezionismo serio si guarda a queste cose ma per poterlo fare bisogna conoscere bene i modelli e le motorizzazioni ed i motori altrimenti io ci posso mettere anche il motore della 911, ma tanto ha il cofano a 36 feritoie !!

[@carloduroni5629]

Typical american "restoration", aiming only at external beauty and caring nothing about originality. "Restore" means "put it back to original state". If you put a different engine it's NOT a restoration. And, as another expert Italian said, it also has the wrong engine lid from a later 600D.

[@Schlipperschlopper]

Sadly soon all combustion cars and trucks including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Car washs will be forbidden too because they are climate killers, now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime. (BABVVEN & TEBBVEN & BEFVO laws)!!!!!
