Attractions
Small, unmistakable and perfect for tackling Italy's narrow, winding roads, the Fiat 500 was designed to offer great practicality without a lot of frills and proved to be exactly what Italian motorists wanted when it came on the market in 1957. For those who wanted a little more comfort, the 500L was the answer. In fact, the 'Lusso' was equipped with a better-finished and better-equipped cabin to satisfy the most demanding customers. More chrome details, an anti-reflective plastic dashboard, a new instrument panel and new leatherette seats were the distinctive features of the 500L.
This 1972 Fiat 500L, finished in a very attractive Blu Notte, is evidently a well-preserved example that has been carefully and scrupulously maintained.After being restored a few years ago, this car has been kept in the garage and used mainly for attending rallies and vintage events in the picturesque province of Rome. We are sure you will agree that this is an excellent specimen and an extremely versatile and usable classic that will bring much satisfaction to its next lucky owner.
