Description
1964 Nuova 500D, chassis number 110D660355. Being a D it has the very desirable suicide doors and has been converted to the long roof which rolls back, including the rear window, to give the full open air experience. The car was first registered on the 4th April 1964 when it was given ROMA727802, the first owner kept it nearly 10 years and it was sold again in ‘81, ‘89 and in 1995 always staying in Rome. In 2008 the car was restored by Carrozzeria Alfredi where 242 hours were spent, at a cost of €6050 (plus parts) which gave a total cost of €9586. 76. The paint is Verdi Oasi which was a one year only colour used from July 1963-July 1964 so is period correct. Although paperwork very rarely stays with cars in Italy I have the invoice for this work, I also have the original Carta di Circolazione per Autovettura (Italian Logbook) along with a certificate from FIAT Classiche confirming the car’s original production date. After restoration the car was kept in a collection in Rome. The restoration work was carried out at 92, 695km and the car has now covered 93, 195 or 58, 246 miles, but I might still add a few. The car was imported in June 2015 and I am the only owner since, as can be seen by the mileage, it has only been used on high days and holidays. I got around to registering the car in June 2021 after I sold my other 500. The car retains its original 499cc engine and non-synchromesh gearbox and is LHD for the full authentic driving experience. The car has a jack, a full tool kit and a spare wheel. Thanks for looking.‘A smile every mile’ is a real cliche but it happens to be true with this little car. Everyone loves the suicide doors, the fully open roof and the cute size.
