Fiat 500 (deutsche Erstausgabe, HEEL)

The first of the two German editions of this book. Behind it lies «la Fiat 500 de mon père», published in 1995 by ETAI in Boulogne-Billancourt in the «De mon père» series. Marie-Claire Lauvray and Basil Le Fay describe the Fiat 500 from its presentation in 1957 through the eighteen years of production to the point at which Italy's cheapest car became a sought-after collector's piece; the volume is richly illustrated and also carries graphic overviews. The text was put into German by Dorko M. Rybiczka. This edition appeared in 2001 from Heel in Königswinter: 107 pages in the landscape format 23 × 25 cm – the same page count as the French original. Parragon reissued the same translation unchanged in 2007 at a fraction of the price; that second German edition is also in this directory. All three versions are thus represented here: the French original from ETAI, the first German edition from HEEL and the later one from Parragon. From HEEL there are also «1899 FIAT 1999 – 100 Jahre Automobile aus Turin» and the «Praxisratgeber Klassikerkauf FIAT 500 & 600».
