The Fiat 500 club was formed in 1992 due to an increased interest in the Nuova 500 and its derivatives, and the lack of a dedicated body to co-ordinate events and put owners and enthusiasts in touch with one another.In its first year the club attracted almost 300 members and new members join weekly. A bi-monthly magazine 500 News, is published, which reports on club events, offers techincal advice from members, has a “For Sale & Wanted” section and includes, of course,many, often humorous articles about the trials, tribulations and joys of 500 ownership.
