1971 Fiat 500 L white Fully restored

Anno: 1971

The diminutive Fiat 500 helped to mobilise Italy with its simple mechanicals and practical four-seater bodyshell, and continued in production almost unchanged until 1975. This 500L has been with its most recent private owner for 12 years, and has been treated to a respray and interior retrim as part of a two-year restoration project, with all replacement parts reportedly purchased from Turin. It would make a wonderful addition to any classic car enthusiast’s stable, as well as a smart and characterful companion for weekend jaunts and car show visits.
