The Appeal
The Fiat 500 R is an honest piece of Italian automotive history from the mid-1970s. This car stands out for its remarkable provenance, having remained within the same family since new, passing from father to son.
However, what makes this 1974 Fiat especially noteworthy is its unrestored, original condition - a rarity to find in vehicles of this era, especially those so humble and hard-working as a Fiat 500. Having been regularly used yet carefully stored under cover throughout its life, this 100 R presents as a well-preserved treat for the Fiat enthusiast.
