The Appeal
Any car enthusiast would agree that the Fiat 500 was a landmark car world-wide being one of the best selling cars ever made.

This stunning little motor shines bright in its well kept paintwork and boasts a tidy interior, soft top roof and sporty touches that only add to the feel and looks.
