Benefits from an older restoration
Beautiful appearance
Good history
Reputedly owned previously by TV favourite Ed China
Here we have a lovely example of the ever popular Fiat 500 L finished in Fiat orange with a black interior and with good chromework. This example has been restored not so long ago, which is very evident upon inspection. According to some of the paperwork, it would appear to have been owned by motoring TV celebrity Ed China of “Wheeler Dealers”, which means it may well have had an interesting history but please take a look for yourself and make up your own opinion on what you think.
The Fiat comes with a selection of paperwork going into many thousands of pounds spent, both before and after its restoration. It presents very well with nice paintwork and a good interior, lovely chrome and very fetching wheel trims sat on a recent set of white wall tyres. Its finished off with a boot rack, Webasto-style sunroof, front and rear chrome nudge bars and a very detailed engine and engine bay. One of the invoices highlights that the following parts have been replaced - stainless steel sill mouldings, clutch, brake and accelerator pedals, and brake master cylinder amongst other parts.
We are big fans of Fiat 500s here and this one ticks a lot of boxes for us, so come and have a look and see if you agree!
