Fiat is set to resurrect the iconic Cinquecento brand early next year when the Panda-based ‘500’ city car goes on sale in the UK.

Boasting Cinquecento-silhouette lines harping back to the original pint-sized city-slicker the 500 could be the ultimate urbanite car to be seen in (liveried estate agent fleets please make an orderly queue).

Prices are expected to start at around £8000. Mini beware.
