An outgoing 500 F full of personality, carefully restored and fitted with original plates and documents
The charm
Admired and collected the world over for its eye-catching lines and liveliness, which made it the undisputed queen of Italy's most winding roads, the 500 is the embodiment of the Italian love of fun, practical and ingenious cars.
Launched in 1965, the 500 F represented a major evolutionary step for the little Fiat, having introduced front-opening doors, a new, larger windscreen and a more powerful engine. At the same time, the F retained some of the best-loved features of the first series, such as the attractive metal dashboard.
This very special 500 F, produced a few months before this model was replaced by the 500 R with the new Fiat 126 engine, was completely restored both inside and out. The mechanics also received attention and the engine was overhauled in every detail, using only original components. In addition to the engine work, the car received a new clutch and pressure plate and a Giannini-style exhaust.
The bodywork was sandblasted and repainted, and the floors and front and rear mudguards were replaced.
In the passenger compartment, all upholstery has been replaced with original parts. The recent car radio with Bluetooth uses vintage Pioneer speakers.
This 500 comes with the original black number plates and up-to-date original Italian papers, and the seller assures us that it is in excellent condition and needs no further work.
Restored with care and love, this beautiful example would be a perfect choice for any enthusiast who wants to enjoy the inimitable fun that only a 500 can offer.

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.

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.
