Inside eerie abandoned car factory that produced VERY famous model where time has stood still for 13 years since it shut
AN EERIE abandoned car factory that produced a very famous model still has all its equipment after 13 years.
New footage has revealed that a Fiat factory in Termini Imerese on the northern coast of Sicily remains untouched since being left for dead in 2011.
Famous for building some of the Italian manufacturer's most popular models, the factory is littered with history and success.
The iconic Fiat 500 was built in this very factory on the Italian island, as was the Fiat Panda, 126 and Punto.
Having been operational since 1970, the last car to be built inside the factory's four walls was a Lancia Ypsilon in November 2011.
For many car lovers, and especially those of the Fiat models, the abandoned factory in Termini Imerese is a sad sight.

But a new walk-around video uploaded by the Forgotten Buildings YouTube channel has proved that time really has stood still inside the factory.
After eventually sneaking his way inside, Jessey, who runs the account, reveals the hidden gems within.
In most cases, factories are emptied shortly after the facility closes, but this former Fiat plant is virtually untouched.
Huge floor spaces are still littered with equipment and machinery, while hallways and offices remain in good condition.
Sunlight also enters the factory from all angles, helping to illuminate the rest of the surroundings without the need for electricity.
As Jessey continues to wind his way through the factory, it becomes more apparent that nothing had been taken and everything was just left behind to decay.
While Jessey mentions that security is in force at the front of the factory, there appears to be nobody patrolling inside.
Despite previously changing hands on a number of occasions, no one has ever claimed or restored the building.
The YouTuber does, however, add that the factory has now been sold, meaning it is no longer accessible.
It will allegedly be stripped down before being demolished, with new owners putting an end to the former assembly plant in order to resurrect it as something of their own.
Last month, an abandoned car dealership from the 80s was discovered - and it was full of ultra-rare Japanese cars that had never been touched.
The forgotten showroom in Malta, known as Fuji, was once the only Subaru dealer on the European island, but was soon put out of business by a rival garage.
