Vehicle Description
This cult-car is a Fiat 500 with former Italian registration and the folding roof for fresh air and convertible feeling.
First registration was in 1969, the original Italian registration document is available, unwarranted mileage approx. 38,700 km.
The car was painted some time ago and some rust is beginning to show, e.g. next to the battery. The folding roof has a little crack and the dents on the front bumper shows attest of the everyday life on Italian streets.
Overall, however, it is a very pretty appearance and the red interior with leatherette seats comes in a good condition, despite some traces of use, e.g. on the inside of the door trim.
Did you know you start the engine with a lever next to the handbrake?
The vehicle comes with valid technical approval until 05/2018 and historic plates.
A sympathetic “Cinquecento” with fun factor.
Here it comes, the archetype of a small bubble car! A car that you simply can’t avoid falling in love with: the Fiat 500, introduced in 1957. It is both an icon of the 60s as well as a symbol of Italian compact design.
With the facelifted F-model, front-hinged doors were introduced at the 500 for the first time, replacing the so-called “suicide doors” of earlier models. Power comes from a rear-mounted 496 cc engine with a performance of 13 kW (18 hp).
People wanting more luxury, had to pick up the Fiat 500 F L: quilted side panels, map pockets in the doors, chrome bracket on the bumpers and a broadband speedometer with fuel gauge were the top features. The 500 F was built from 1965 to 1972. It also served various customizers as the basis for visual and technical changes. In 1972, the last variant, called 500 R (“Rinnovata”) was introduced, it remained in production until 1975. In total, over 3.7 million units of the Fiat 500 were built. The unbroken popularity of this model led Fiat to introduce a retro-styled new Fiat 500 in 2007.
