The Appeal

A great fun and charismatic classic car with irresistible charm, the Fiat 500 will raise a smile and a wave wherever it goes, and put you in a great mood every time you drive it.

This example has been in the UK since 2016, having reportedly been in the same family based near Rome from new. It was lightly restored prior to export and has been regularly maintained by the current owner so it's in charming condition and ready to be enjoyed.

The History and Paperwork

 • First registered in Italy in 1967
 • Owned by one family till importing to UK in 2016
 • Sympathetically restored by the family prior to export
 • Italian registration book 
 • Regularly maintained by the current owner of 7years
 • Nice and original
 • Waxoyled early on and regularly topped up
 • V5c present showing one UK owner
 • Resprayed in original colour
 • Two sets of keys
 • Will come with a full 12 months MOT
Bought by the current owner and collected from a town just south of Rome where it had lived its whole life with the same family, the car has been regularly driven and serviced annually and kept garaged when not in use.
The current indicated mileage in kilometres cannot be verified and one could assume that the odometer has gone round the clock.
The car played a part in the Fiat 500 celebration at a recent Goodwood Revival meeting and joined a procession for several laps of the circuit, and featured on the front cover of the Revival Programme for the event.
It’s a lovely looking car that’s in great overall condition and bound to give the next owner a great deal of joy.

The Interior

 • Full original interior
 • Lovely condition throughout
 • Sunroof
The red interior is in great shape, with only a few signs of aging, and very basic. There are a few switches and the one dial which tells the driver his speed and the built-in warning lights for fuel, oil level and amperage do the rest. What more do you need? 
All the switches work and the gearbox has been rebuilt to include synchromesh on the gears removing the need to constantly double de-clutch when changing down through the lower gears.

The Exterior

 • Re-sprayed in its original colour
 • Great all-round condition
 • Excellent wheels with good tyres
Re-sprayed during its restoration, the car is as pretty as a picture.
All the chrome is original and has a slightly aged patina to it but that only adds to the overall charm and appearance of this iconic car, and only the new rear light units are not original to the car.

The Mechanics

 • Well cared for car
 • Annually serviced by current owner
 • Rebuilt gearbox and engine
 • Drives really nicely
Mechanically the car is reported to always start and run very well benefitting from the engine and gearbox rebuild prior to import.
The current owner has updated some parts of the wiring loom that had begun to degrade but other than that he has had to do nothing more than have it serviced every year.

The Summary

Possibly one of the cutest cars ever built, the Fiat 500 is a great fun classic car to own and drive, and there will always be a high demand for nicely kept original examples like this one.
