The next time that neighbor (you know the one, the guy who drives a Sienna) makes some snide remark about your microcar, you might want to remind him that his minivan has microcar roots.
The 6-seat Fiat 600D Multipla is the grandfather of the modern minivan. It was a people-hauler, it was a taxi, and it had seats that folded flat to accomodate loads. (And that was in the days before Home Depot.)
If you have a sudden craving for one of these cars, check out the June 7th Bonhams auction in Greenwich, Connecticut. A nice example has been consigned, with an estimate of $30,000-$35,000.
Happy bidding!
