The Appeal

The Fiat 500 has now become a design icon, beloved of celebrities and fashionable VIPs, but cars like this one allow us to appreciate the original features of this genuine lifestyle phenomenon in their purity. It has only had four previous owners, all of them quite advanced in years, and has always been used just as its designers intended: for short local journeys on country roads and to move nimbly through village lanes.

It has always been regularly serviced by local workshops in Ancona and Macerata and always kept in the garage.

It is therefore a very correct and well maintained 500L in a pleasingly classic colour scheme. It has covered only 70,943 km since new - verifiable from the historical documentation provided - and is in truly excellent condition, with red reupholstered interior.

ACI-registered and fitted with a valid MOT, it is a very honest example of one of Italy's most versatile and beloved cars.
