About Hagerty’s condition ratingsClose

2010 restoration. Decent paint in original colors with a little bit flaking off around the door hinges. Very clean undercarriage. This little Topolino received the kind of quality restoration treatment normally reserved for more expensive cars, but it has seen quite a bit of use and enjoyment since.

Market commentary

The tiny engine is situated right over the front wheels and mounted backwards with the radiator behind it. Once upon a time the Mille Miglia field was filled with Topolinos, careening madly through Italy to the cheers of throngs of onlookers crowding the narrow roads and city streets. As such a Topolino has a better than average chance of catching the attention of the MM Storica's selection committee to fill out a field full of mega-buck Ferraris, Maseratis and Mercedes-Benzes. That possibility is fully valued in the superior price brought by this somewhat aged and used Topolino.
