Several months ago, Hanks posted photos on social media with a similar car – ubiquitous in communist-era Poland – writing “So excited about my new car!”

The people of Bielsko-Biała, where the car was produced between 1973 and 2000, decided to gather the money to present an example to the actor.

Hanks is in contact with the fundraisers, who say the actor was moved by the idea and offered to donate money to the children’s hospital in Bielsko-Biała in return.

Hanks is to receive the car in May in Los Angeles, where the car will be transported for free by the Polish National Airlines LOT.

According to the organisers, Hanks is also planning a trip to Poland.

In Poland, the Fiat 126p was affectionately known as “Maluch”, which means “the small one” or “toddler”.
