The Appeal
A great fun and charismatic classic car with irresistible charm, the Fiat 500 will raise a smile and a wave wherever it goes, and put you in a great mood every time you drive it.
This example has been in the UK since 2016, having reportedly been in the same family based near Rome from new. It was lightly restored prior to export and has been regularly maintained by the current owner so it's in charming condition and ready to be enjoyed.

The History and Paperwork
• First registered in Italy in 1967
• Owned by one family till importing to UK in 2016
• Sympathetically restored by the family prior to export
• Italian registration book
• Regularly maintained by the current owner of 7years
• Nice and original
• Waxoyled early on and regularly topped up
• V5c present showing one UK owner
• Resprayed in original colour
• Two sets of keys
• Will come with a full 12 months MOT
Bought by the current owner and collected from a town just south of Rome where it had lived its whole life with the same family, the car has been regularly driven and serviced annually and kept garaged when not in use.
The current indicated mileage in kilometres cannot be verified and one could assume that the odometer has gone round the clock.
The car played a part in the Fiat 500 celebration at a recent Goodwood Revival meeting and joined a procession for several laps of the circuit, and featured on the front cover of the Revival Programme for the event.
It’s a lovely looking car that’s in great overall condition and bound to give the next owner a great deal of joy.
The Interior
• Full original interior
• Lovely condition throughout
• Sunroof
The red interior is in great shape, with only a few signs of aging, and very basic. There are a few switches and the one dial which tells the driver his speed and the built-in warning lights for fuel, oil level and amperage do the rest. What more do you need?
All the switches work and the gearbox has been rebuilt to include synchromesh on the gears removing the need to constantly double de-clutch when changing down through the lower gears.
The Exterior
• Re-sprayed in its original colour
• Great all-round condition
• Excellent wheels with good tyres
Re-sprayed during its restoration, the car is as pretty as a picture.
All the chrome is original and has a slightly aged patina to it but that only adds to the overall charm and appearance of this iconic car, and only the new rear light units are not original to the car.
The Mechanics
• Well cared for car
• Annually serviced by current owner
• Rebuilt gearbox and engine
• Drives really nicely
Mechanically the car is reported to always start and run very well benefitting from the engine and gearbox rebuild prior to import.
The current owner has updated some parts of the wiring loom that had begun to degrade but other than that he has had to do nothing more than have it serviced every year.
The Summary
Possibly one of the cutest cars ever built, the Fiat 500 is a great fun classic car to own and drive, and there will always be a high demand for nicely kept original examples like this one.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
