Description

CLASSIC FIAT 500 53K MILES MOT TAX & ULEZ EXEMPT. CURRENT MOT 13/ 12/ 24 1 KEEPER.

BELLISSIMO-CARINO-DIVERIMENTO= BEAUTIFUL-CUTE-FUN

MEASURING 2. 97 METERS (9FT 9") LONG, AND POWERED BY A REAR-MOUNTED 499CC AIR COOLED ENGINE, THE 500 IS 24. 5CM (9. 6") SMALLER THAN FIAT'S 600, LAUCHED 2 YEARS EARLIER, AND IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE FIRST PURPOSE-DESIGNED CITY CARS. ALTHOUGH THE DOWNSIZED TWO-CYLINDER ENGINE WAS A DEPARTURE FOR FIAT, IT HAS A REPUTATION FOR BEING A TOUGH LITTLE UNIT. THE CAR'S SYNCHROMESH GEAR BOX WAS USED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE BUT THANKFULLY IS ALSO FAMED FOR BEING STRONG.

THIS LITTLE BEAUTY IS FINISHED IN GLEAMING BRIGHT ITALIAN RED. THERE ARE NO TRACES OF ROT/ RUST. IT HAS A FOLDBACK CANVAS SUNROOF, BOOTRACK AND PICNIC BASKET. THE BRIGHTWORK IS OF VERY GOOD ORDER. ALL IS FULLY FUNCTIONAL.

INTERNALLY THE LITTLE FIAT SEATS FOUR. AS THEY ALL ARE FROM THIS ERA, THE 500 IS VERY BASIC. HOWEVER, FUNCTIONAL WITH ALL THAT IS REQUIRED FOR CLASSIC MOTORING FUN.

THIS CHARMING ONE KEEPER EXAMPLE, FIRST REGISTERED ON 11 SEPTEMBER 1968 AND THEREFORE RECORDED AS A HISTORIC VEHICLE, HAS COVERED A MERE 53K MILES IN ITS 55 YEARS AND DRIVES GREAT WITH ITS EAGER, SPRIGHTLY ENGINE AND GEAR BOX.

THE 500 IS VERY ECONOMICAL TO RUN IN ALL RESPECTS, PARTS ARE READILY AVAILABLE AND REPAIRS STRAIGHT FORWARD, MOT, TAX AND ULEZ EXEMPT. HOWEVER, WITH A CURRENT MOT TO 13/ 12/ 2024. THE PERFECT LITTLE CLASSIC CAR TO OWN AND ENJOY !

NEW CLASSIC REGISTRATION PLATES ARE AWAITED FOR FITTING. THE REGISTRATION NUMBER IS XAU 557G.

IT IS A REQUIREMENT OF C&C LISTINGS TO INVITE OFFERS. ANY OFFERS FOR THIS VEHICLE REQUIRE TO BE CLOSE TO THE ASKING PRICE TO BE SUCCESSFUL.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION SIMPLY CALL ME ON - the details below. TELEPHONY IS MY PREFERRED MEANS OF COMMUNICATION. IT'S NICE TO TALK ! I AM A WELCOMING, COURTEOUS AND POLITE INDIVIDUAL. UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE LEARNED FROM EXPERIENCE, THE VAST MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO SEND EMAILS AND TEXTS ARE MERELY FILLING THEIR TIME AT THE COST OF MINE.

I HAVE VIDEOS WHICH I AM HAPPY TO SEND UPON REQUEST FROM GENUINELY INTERESTED PARTIES WITH "WHATSAPP".
DELIVERY TO UK MAINLAND AREAS CAN BE ARRANGED SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT ON COST AND FULL ADVANCE PAYMENT.

THANK YOU.
