The Attractions

Iconic, ever popular and full of charm, the Fiat 500 is still one of the most important and successful cars in motoring history. Tiny, agile and easy to drive, these lively little cars were for many years one of the pillars of the European automotive industry and are today just as important in the classic car market.
This 1972 example, in the more refined 'Lusso' or 'L' trim, was restored around 12 years ago and still looks in remarkably good condition in its vibrant Coral Red colour scheme. It represents an excellent opportunity to acquire one of the world's most famous and beloved classic cars.
