The Appeal
The Fiat 500L represents the 'Lusso' (luxury) variant of the iconic Fiat 500, offering a more comfortable cabin and refined styling over the standard model without sacrificing its economic, no-frills image. It's this iteration of the classic 500 that ranks as the most popular, and proves the most comfortable, practical iteration of it, too.
This particular 1971 example has been fully restored in Italy before being registered in the UK in 2023. With factory standard components throughout and a comprehensive restoration having been undertaken in Italy, this 500L is now ready and waiting for its lucky new owner.

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..
✓ We request that a non-refundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.
