The Attractions
The great Carlo Abarth proved beyond any doubt that the little Fiat 500 can unleash an unsuspectedly sporty soul when given a little more power. This 1971 example now comes with a 650 cc engine, mated to a fully synchronised gearbox, offering considerable improvements in both performance and driveability.
The car was restored to a high standard a few years ago and has since been stored with great care in a dry garage and used infrequently on the roads of the Castelli Romani. This Fiat is offered with a freshly renewed MOT and original documentation, and the vendor will be happy to assist in arranging domestic or international shipping at the buyer's expense.
If you are looking for a classic 500 in great shape and ready to drive, this looks like the perfect car.
