THE APPEAL

THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK

• Purchased new from a coachbuilder in the Amalfi Coast. 
• It was first registered in 1969.
• OBD is showing 50,229 Kilometres.
• The car was purchased by the current vendor in 2017 where has been restored and it has been cared for it meticulously.
• The front end from the tank fender including the nose of the vehicle has been restored. 
• The 500 has an old ASI certificate with CRS (certificate of historical significance) issued to the previous owner. 
• We are informed that the bottom of the vehicle has had work previously carried out due to overlay sheet metal underneath the vehicle. 
• The current vendor has replaced all the upholstery and mounted various accessories into the vehicle. 
• The car is in regular use and has participated in various events, such as weddings and commercials and the occasional rally. 
• Modern mechanical upgrades ensure that driving the car in stop/start traffic is as easy as can be. 

THE INTERIOR

• Simple uncomplicated interior.
• Well presented interior with minimal to no signs of aging.
• The interior has been re-done to match the exterior aesthetics and compliments the car beautifully. 
• There is a small imperfection to be aware of on the rear of the passenger seat. 
• Original steering wheel presents well.
• Gauges, switches and electronics within the vehicle are said to be working as they should do.
• The switch surrounds are looking a tad worn but we feel this adds character to the vehicle. 
• The dashboard is very simple but looks marvellous and presents really well, with no marks or blemishes that we are aware of.
• Nice condition door cards, carpets and headlining with no marks or damage that we noted.
• There is some signs of patina to be aware of around the speedo. 
• We are informed that speakers are present within the vehicle and ready to be paired with a radio system should the new owner wish to install one. 
• The front and rear seats are in great condition with both sets showing minimal wear to any of the bolsters or cushions that we noticed.

THE EXTERIOR

• Great condition paintwork.
• The Fiat 500 has sported many different shades of paint over the years. Leaving the Fiat factory in White, the car was then repainted in Pink and then current Blue, which mimics the colour found on the spiaggina movement cars.
• The overall presentation of the bodywork looks excellent. 
• The body panels look nice and straight with no signs of damage or corrosion. 
• As far as we can tell the glass and sills are in overall good condition and are holding up well considering the age of the vehicle.
• Badging presents really well with little signs of corrosion and pitting.
• All lights are presenting well and appear to be free from sun-damage or fading.
• Convertible roof showing well for its age. 
• Brightwork placed around the Fiat 500 is lustrous and contrasts beautifully with the paintwork. There are some signs of pitting to be aware of on the chrome work, specifically on the rear of the vehicle. 
• The vendor informs us that there are some marks to be aware of on the right posterior edge as well as some imperfections on the lower rear right side. 
• Original Chromodora alloy wheels appear to present well. There are some curb marks to be aware of on some of the wheels, but the general overall condition is good.
• The Right door may look like it is not aligned but this is due to it not being closed properly at the time the photo was taken

THE MECHANICS

• Unique driving experience.
• Top speed of 59MPH.
• 500CC two cylinder engine.
