This little 500 is something very special.
Starting life as a standard LHD Fiat 500 L, it features white and red livery with Abarth badging plus attractive Cromodora alloys, new bumpers front and rear, and slightly lowered suspension plus extended hinges on the rear engine compartment. Bullet-style door mirrors complete the look.
The interior complements the exterior beautifully in that the dash binnacle features the correct Abarth instrumentation, expensive Abarth steering wheel, a stop watch (removed for security) and good quality interior mats. The black seats and door cards are in good condition.
Performance from a standard 500 has been enhanced with a replacement 650cc engine and a sporty exhaust, and the car was nippy for our video and performed well. The Abarth rocker cover and sump complete the look. We understand the engine has only completed 350 miles since being fitted.
In addition to the exterior and interior enhancements above, the Vendor informed us that a new petrol tank has also been fitted.
In terms of documentation, we have a workshop manual, instruction book, Ricambio book, V5, receipts and previous MOT certificates.
The Fiat is HPi clear as well.
Overall, this is a charming and authentic recreation for a fraction of the price of an original Abarth, and as such represents a super opportunity. Don’t miss out!
