Fiat, ti amo!

Our customer Carmen Bunse is a passionate Fiat driver. Here she writes what her Fiat means to her.


10 years ago I fell in love. Today my heart still beats for my little Italian.

When I was 17 I became the proud owner of a Fiat 500 Giardiniera from 1969.
So at the end of 2010 my exciting project began; restoring my first car with great attention to detail and getting to know, love and appreciate it in a completely different way than other teenagers would probably do.

My father, who comes from a generation of people who can do anything, took time every evening and had the patience to explain everything to me from scratch. I can imagine that it was not always easy to have a helper who had little understanding of the subject.

Together we gave the old Italian a new shine and cleaned, polished and renewed every little part, if necessary. We even relieved the body by some rusty parts and welded on new, self-bent sheet metal parts. The engine has been compressed and all cables and porous parts have been replaced by us (of course everything is true to the original!). Today he is a real feast for the eyes and my greatest treasure.

Thank you, dad!
