​One previous UK owner
Extensive restoration investment
Superb condition – truly a must-see

​We are thrilled to present this immaculate Fiat 500, finished in a rich, vibrant red with a tan interior, complemented by a classic Webasto-style sunroof. This iconic Fiat boasts a show-quality condition that speaks to the significant time and expense invested in its restoration. Its striking appearance is nearly factory-original, with tasteful modifications like Fiat 126 wheels and a period-correct upgraded steering wheel—both easily reversible if desired. With its believed history as a showroom display, the Fiat's remarkable preservation is evident in every detail.

​Ownership History and Provenance
First registered overseas in 1971, this Fiat 500 made its way to the UK in April 2010, when it was acquired by its first UK owner, a gentleman of Italian descent from Sevenoaks. The vehicle then passed to its second UK owner in January 2018. A collection of invoices dated from 2021 onward reflect a substantial investment in quality parts, totaling over £12, 669. If labor costs were included, the restoration value would be even higher. This level of care is evident upon viewing, and we encourage potential buyers to see for themselves the meticulous attention to detail throughout.

​Condition and Features
This Fiat 500's condition truly sets it apart. The paint gleams with depth, complemented by the tan interior that creates a classic, inviting ambiance. The Webasto-style sunroof offers an authentic vintage touch, ideal for leisurely drives. Every element of this car’s presentation, from the wheels to the upgraded steering wheel, contributes to its charm and collectible appeal. The car is supplied with an extensive collection of invoices that trace the careful attention it has received, ensuring it is not only visually stunning but also mechanically sound.

​The Appeal of a Timeless Classic
As Fiat 500s gain popularity among classic car enthusiasts, finding one in this exceptional condition is rare. The value of the restoration alone far exceeds the anticipated sale price, offering an excellent opportunity for the next owner. This Fiat is sure to be a conversation starter wherever it goes, capturing the spirit of Italian motoring in a way that few cars can.

​Additional Option
For those interested, a dedicated trailer for this Fiat 500 is also available for separate negotiation.

This beautifully restored Fiat 500 is a unique find, offering the chance to own an impeccably maintained piece of automotive history. We invite you to view this car in person and see firsthand the quality and care that make it truly special.
