About the Fiat500 Club
The Fiat500 Club of the
Netherlands
The "Fiat 500 Club
Nederland" was founded by some fanatic Fiat 500
enthousiastics on the 24th of May in 1980. The club now consists
of more than 4000 members, mainly from the Netherlands but also
from other countries. All these people have one thing in common:
their love for the Fiat 500.
The "Fiat 500 Club
Nederland" is a legal entity, it is registered at the
Register of Associations of the Chamber of Commerce in
Harderwijk.
The Aim of the Club
The aim of the club is to
increase the pleasure of the joint hobby of its members: driving
and maintenance of their Fiat 500.
What is offered by the
Club?
Events
Each year approximately 15 events are organised. These include
tours, spare-parts markets, fares, technical days and
"coffee&chat"-days. During these events,
experiences can be exchanged with other members.
Club Shop
The club owns a clubshop where the Fiat 500 driver can find nice
as well as practical things, such as workshop manuals, reprints
of owner's manuals, miniatures, memberlists, etc.
Club Magazine
Four times a year, the magazine "De 500" is issued. In
this magazine you will find experiences of the members
themselves, technical information from the technical committee,
ads from members (selling and buying), ads from car insurance
companies offering special Fiat 500 rates, upcoming events,
previews and flashbacks to events as organised by club members,
clubshop info and more!
Maintenance Accommodation
The club has a private maintenance accommodation where members
can work on their 500. Reservation is necessary.
Spare-parts Supply
The Fiat 500 Club also disposes over a 'spare parts storehouse',
which is managed by a couple of members. Members can buy here
almost all Fiat 500 parts, both new as well as used. The yearly
renewed Club-Card also offers discounts at a certain amount of
companies and so called 'Points of Support'.
Members Help Members
When a club-member experiences problems with his or her 500
during a tour and cannot proceed or be helped otherwise, he or
she may contact one of the members that have agreed to help with
towing. A cup of coffee may be served or they may even be offered
a place to sleep!
Technical Committee
The Technical Committee is formed by members from all over the
Netherlands. These members can be contacted in case of technical
problems with a Fiat 500.
Membership / Donorship
Each owner of a Fiat 500 or
a derived version can become a member of the Fiat 500 Club.
Someone who does not own Fiat 500 himself, but is 500-minded can
