Need Retro? See Your Fiat 500 Therapist

Fiat's cute, cheeky little 500 is already the most retro thing on four wheels - it's a slice of the Swinging Sixties and Seventies that you can plug your iPod into. It's also not bad at hide and seek either - check out our video to see what I'm on about.

But what if you're hardcore retro? What if you prefer black and white television and The Bee Gees? Okay, monochrome TV might be a bit far but Night Fever is a tune, so respect it. Anyway, if you're jealous of your parents for growing up in the Seventies you're in for a treat. Fiat have now crammed even more retro-cool into the 500, with the new 'Colour Therapy' range.

You get bright, brash '70's colours, white mirrors and wheel covers, and a pool ball gearknob, which sounds pointless and a little bit awesome at the same time. The extra-retro Colour Therapy 500s should be just the counselling we all need in the post-Olympic hangover.

Each model costs £800 more than a standard Fiat 500. Mamma mia! Now that's a serious amount of money, in today's rates - yet alone Seventies pocket money - but you're paying for the exclusivity and £100-worth of extra kit on board as standard. Our advice is to go for the retro-engined one too: the TwinAir gets a two-cylinder turbo, which makes a brilliant thrummy noise and can be as cheap to run as cars were 40 years ago - if you're careful...

For the 0.9-litre Twinair Fiat 500 Colour Therapy (and breathe) you're paying £14,510. It's a lot of wedge for a city car, I grant you, but for a time machine? It's a bargain.
