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.
