The Appeal
The challenge for a Ferrari main dealer is what to use as a courtesy car? You could hardly keep a fleet of F430 Scuderias ready to loan out to customers, but something on-brand would certainly be preferable. Indeed, Il Comendatore Enzo Ferrari himself used to drive a Fiat 128 as his everyday transport.
That's when someone had the bright idea to create a special edition Fiat 500 with Rosso Corsa paintwork and unique Ferrari-inspired details that set them apart from standard 500s.
Created to celebrate Ferrari's Formula 1 success and sold exclusively through Ferrari dealerships, just 200 examples of the Fiat 500 Sport Ferrari Dealer Edition were ever made, of which only 60 were supplied to UK dealers in right-hand drive.

This particular example, number 137 of the 200-car production run, offers collectors a rare opportunity to acquire a genuine piece of Italian automotive history. Having been cherished by just three former registered keepers and forming part of a private collection since 2019, it presents in very good condition throughout with documented history and recent maintenance. For enthusiasts seeking something more exclusive than a standard Fiat 500, this Ferrari Edition combines everyday usability with genuine collector appeal and rarity.

Hi there, car is beautifully presented and obviously cared for. Please can you confirm whether any servicing was carried out between 2011 and 07/2024? Does “3 former keepers” mean 4 in total on the V5? Thanks, and best of luck

SellerHi there, thanks very much for your message and the kind words about the car. The current V5 shows two former keepers, so three in total. Regarding servicing, there were no additional recorded services between 2011 and 07/2024. During that time, the car was part of a private collection where it was carefully maintained and looked after, though not formally serviced. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
