The Fiat 500 is to long ! It is 16.2 inches longer than the Austin/British Leyland etc Mini. Wow, it doesn't look that big out on the road.
But then I guess the original Mini was kinda small (and I have owned 7 of 'em over the years at some point in my distant youth  ).
I would like to buy an orginal . Never have owned one . My half- hearted try to find one hasnt been successful. The orgininal Mini was exactly 10 feet long .

You may already know that yes it can be towed on all 4 wheels.
The new 2012 5th edition manual states that all you need to do is place the manual transmission in neutral.

While we were at Blue Ox, in Nebraska, in May of last year, they were building the first baseplate for a Fiat 500. So I know they have them available!

Just got a new Fiat 500 automatic. The range of dolly prices are impressive. Since it's pretty small car, I'm assuming I don't need a super-heavy-duty dolly. Any suggestions?

Motor Home Mag May 2012 they specifically sing the praises of the Fiat 500, worth a read for you.

I personally would never use a dolly without brakes. do these light/cheap ones come with them? but can't y0u tow it 4 down? if so IMHO it is foolish to use a dolly.

It's an automatic, can't tow it four down.

Acme EZE Tow is one of the lightest, lowest pricing and it is available with brakes. I have read on different rv forums that most that own them are very satisfied. Here is the link: http://cartowdolly.com/eze-tow-dolly/
