Looks like a cool, little, practical car.......which means it'll never be sold in the US. The Bob Sharp racing theme is great. What are those wheels...13-inch? 12-inch?

Saw quite a few Fiat 600's in Argentina a few years ago, plus a number racing at the Historics (near Seattle).

You have a couple of nice cars in your family. How long has your mom had hers'? I like the .nl website as well. Haven't translated anything as I am still just looking at all the photos posted.
