Worth £300million it's unlikely Tom Hanks needs any help in buying a car, let alone a 1973 Fiat hatchback.
But after the actor posted photos of himself next to Fiat 126s in Budapest last year, his wish has come true.
People in Bielsko-Biala, Poland, held a fundraiser for Hanks after seeing his Instagram and Twitter posts in which he joked: 'I'm so excited about my new car!! Hanx.'
The community, led by entrepreneur and rally driver Rafal Sonikhas, raised 8500 Zloty (about £1,700) to purchase a Fiat 126 in fetching turquoise.
It is being transported to the southern Polish city where it will be restored before it's gifted to the Toy Story star.
The rear-engined Fiat 126, with a top speed of 65mph, was introduced as a replacement to the Fiat 500 in 1972. Almost 4.6million hatchbacks were sold until production finally stopped in 2000.
