Ferves was an Italian car maker that operated from 1965 to 1970. In 1966, at the Turin Motor Show, they introduced the Ranger, a small off-road version of the Fiat 500 and 600. It had an open body, four vinyl seats, a folding windscreen, and early models with removable suicide doors (later replaced by normal doors). The Ranger used a rear-mounted 499 cc two-cylinder engine and was available in two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with a top speed of about 45 mph. A cargo version could carry 300 kg. The engine and steering came from the Fiat 500, while the suspension and brakes came from the Fiat 600. Chassis numbers started at 300 for passengers and 100 for cargo. All 600 cars built were left-hand drive. A Ranger is on display at the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville.
