The Appeal
If you think of a compact city car, chances are you think of the Fiat 500. Quietly glamorous, nicely styled and ever-endearing, these simple little cars became one of the most iconic motors in history. When the 500L was released, offering a more upmarket, handsome interior, it naturally became the most popular of the lineage.
This 1972 example has benefited from considerable mechanical attention under its current owner, who works professionally as a classic car restorer. A recommissioned 649cc engine has been fitted alongside a four-speed synchromesh gearbox, resulting in an eminently more drivable car. Garage-stored throughout its current ownership, this charming Fiat 500L appears ready to be enjoyed.image00045-Robert-Davidson.jpeg609.61 KB
