Maybe I ought to start buying lottery tickets - how much are they?
Cars or lottery tickets?
That's a modern Fiat in RA's picture.

@ Curtis, yes indeed, a modern Fiat cinque cento, still cute and to quote Hotrodder: It captures the spirit of the original so well.

Downsizing, across dunes, dikes and the Alps, Fiat evening. Seven years of car restoration and this Topolino (1951) is ready for the showroom. Not my picture, only a link.

Cute, indeed. Looking at the height of the proud owner he must have followed more than one course "Acrobatic exercises for beginners" to be able to take the driver's seat. Long legs, headroom.....

A friend of mine used to race an earlier model Topolino at Santa Pod called Earspliten-loudenboomer. It caused quite a stir when he brought it down to my place in Kent to have the chassis shortened. Fuel injected Oldsmobile engine. It never did quite run as well as it should have.
