Monte Carlo Rally, If I remember. I had a Fiat 500 about 40 odd years ago--lot of fun.

They're fantastic little cars - much better than the original Fiats - built by the Austrian arms manufacturers.

Today they are very collectible - have become cult cars because of their durability etc. Very cool. I bought one in the late seventies and spent six months trashing it around Europe before selling it at a profit.
