Fiat 600 Multipla advert, 1956

This was made 1956-1965. It shows a right hand drive vehicle but the scene is clearly Italian so the pic may have been horizontally flipped.  Generally advertisers like to show cars pointing right rather than left to indicate going forwards as on a graph.  It states the top speed was about 56 mph which corresponds to finding of the British magazine The Motor in 1956 that a 633 cc version had a top speed of 57.1 mph (92 km/h) - but acceleration was a paltry 0-50 mph (80 km/h) in 43 seconds!
