Volvo Duett (1966) by Harry. A leisure classic

Harry owns three classic driving machines from Sweden.

Wide driving – column

During my military service, I received driving lessons from a drunken, adulterous professional corporal. The first phenomenon appeared from the grab stock of spirits that he also massaged during the driving lessons. The second I had to take his word for it. He talked about it constantly. A broad and proud arm gesture to a couple of ladies on a terrace that was passed: “I've had them all!” Misshifting was punished by a blow with a wooden bar on the helmet. That echoed the lesson.

You get everywhere with the little Fiat

Fiat 500, the new and affordable Fiat

In the mid-fifties Fiat commissioned a model under the Fiat 600 to design. It led to a car that is today an incredibly popular classic: the Fiat 500.

The 500 was still embraced by a large audience.

Fiat 600 Savio Junggla

On the basis of the Fiat 500 and Fiat 600, many playful minds have already given their thoughts free rein. Because Italians are Italians, the first approach was to make these (very) compact rear-wheel drive units with the rear engine… as quickly as possible.
