1972 Fiat 500L

Highlights

  • Comprehensively recommissioned with extensive mechanical work
  • All mechanical work completed by a professional classic car restoration technician
  • The vendor reports no corrosion on the bodywork
  • Recently resprayed
  • New wiring loom fitted with all electrics reported working

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.
