								The 
								second leg of the giant 500C's European tour has 
								just ended in London. The giant 500C is a 
								17-metre long and 6-metre high model, featuring 
								a spectacular projection of the sky on the inner 
								lining of the car’s roof.  
					
					The original 
					event entitled "The Big Smile" took place from 28th August 
					to 2nd September at Parklife, a special 4,000 m2 
					venue on Oxford Street, one of the busiest shopping streets 
					in the world, which sees over 2.4 million passers-by a week 
					and a generous 272 double decker buses passing every hour.
					 
					
					Almost 50,000 
					visitors saw it over six days, and more than 2,600 of them 
					entered the “500one”, built entirely out of fibreglass, to 
					savour the thrilling experience of a trip amid the stars and 
					planets. But that's not all. More than 10,000 web users 
					visited the website dedicated to the event (www.fiat.co.uk/bigsmile), 
					including the photo gallery of Smile & Win (www.fiat.co.uk/smile&win), 
					the on-line competition with a fabulous weekend in a 500C up 
					for grabs for the most beautiful smile captured on board the 
					new car.  
					
					An extraordinary 
					success, which rewarded the 5:1 scale model and the charming 
					location in London's city centre: a genuine park at the 
					centre of the English capital. A summer atmosphere was 
					recreated here thanks to the huge lawn dotted with plants, 
					deckchairs and kiosks, in addition to examples of the Fiat 
					500, Fiat 500C and Fiat 500 by Diesel. After Paris and 
					London, the tour of the giant 500C will end in Berlin at the 
					end of September.
