BODYWORK: In good overall condition, having been restored several years ago. The paint generally retains its shine, although the chrome trim was painted during the restoration.

MECHANICAL CONDITION: The vehicle has been unused for several years as it was displayed in a museum, so a complete mechanical inspection is recommended before it is driven again.

INTERIOR: Restored and reupholstered, it is in generally good condition.

DOCUMENTS: Registered as a Historic Vehicle in Spain, with all the benefits and exemptions this status entails. Although it is a Simca Cinq, the documentation lists it as a Fiat 500A.

HISTORY: This is a Simca Cinq — the French-built version of the Fiat 500 Topolino, manufactured under licence in France from 1936, with almost no differences from the Italian model. It spent its entire life in France, where it was restored, until it was imported into Spain in 2002. It has not been used on the road in recent years, as it has been stored on stands and displayed in a museum.
