600 (1955 to 1969)

The Fiat 600 (1955–1969) is currently enjoying a resurgence as a "practical icon" in the 2026 Australian market, with roadworthy Berlina (sedan) models typically valued between $15,000 and $28,000 AUD. Its desirability is driven by its status as the 500's slightly more muscular and water-cooled older sibling, offering a usable back seat and a top speed of nearly 110km/h in later 767cc "D" forms. The buyer pool is a sophisticated mix of microcar collectors and Italian heritage enthusiasts who specifically target high-liquidity variants like the Multipla—the world's first MPV—which can command between $55,000 and $85,000, and the ultra-rare Jolly beach cars, which often exceed $120,000 at local specialist auctions. In the 2026 landscape, the most prized Australian assets are genuine right-hand-drive (RHD) examples with verified cooling system maintenance, as the 600’s rear-mounted radiator remains a focal point for buyers concerned with reliability in the Australian summer. Additionally, the recent global launch of the all-electric 600e crossover (currently under consideration for local 2026 release) has revitalised interest in the original's nameplate, further stabilising the value of the 1960s survivors.
