Supermodel Elle Macpherson lives in Notting Hill in the UK and drives a Fiat 500 hatch. Not long ago she asked Fiat to give her some leg time in the topless 500C and immediately fell for it.
"I love the Fiat 500C, it has that sexy, cool, Italian thing going on!" she said. "I like the way the car drives - it is perfect for cities with its small turning circle and the easy way it manoeuvres through London."
With the 500C not being heavy polluter - C02 emissions are as low as 110g/km for the diesel version - it also helps around London. Launched in the UK on the 2nd of July the topless two-door has a base price of £11,300 (US$18,553) OTR. Fiat UK expects buyers to line up in droves for a chance to own one during this summer.

IT'S LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT FOR SUPERMODEL ELLE MACPHERSON
Fiat's stunning new addition this summer - the 500C - has a new fan in the form of another supermodel, Elle Macpherson.
Elle, who already drives a 500 hatchback, asked Fiat Group Automobiles UK if she could try a 500C - the convertible version of Fiat's popular supermini - and promptly fell in love with the one that was loaned to her.
"I love the Fiat 500C, it has that sexy, cool, Italian thing going on!" says Elle. "I like the way the car drives - it is perfect for cities with its small turning circle and the easy way it manoeuvres through London."
The Fiat 500C was launched in the UK earlier this month (July) and is expected to be one of the motor industry's biggest hits this summer. Starting at just £11,300 OTR, the new car represents superb value for lovers of soft-top motoring, and is positioned comfortably below its benchmark rivals.
"I was delighted to hear Elle's feedback and look forward to seeing her driving a new 500C soon," says Elena Bernardelli, marketing director, Fiat Group Automobiles UK.
