Fiat gift may spark envy among female motorists

Female car insurance customers may be envious of one famous 50-year-old fashionista after she received a very special birthday present from Fiat.

Barbie - who celebrated her half century on Monday - was given the keys to her very own pink 500.

Complete with a glove compartment filled with lip gloss and an LED-lit vanity mirror, the car was designed by Fiat and the toymaker Mattel.

The paintwork was deliberately created to resemble glossy nail varnish.

A real-life version of the doll was driven through the streets of Milan in the vehicle by long-term boyfriend Ken.

Roberto Giolito, style director and creator of the Fiat 500, commented: "Barbie is a looker, smart enough to listen to everyone, a universal ambassador opting for a car that never divides, but frees everyone from having to declare their social status."

Earlier this month, a drop-top edition of the same model was unveiled at the motor show in Geneva.
