Description
• The latest and most refined evolution of the classic Fiat 500 range, produced only from 1972 to 1975
• Equipped with the 594 cc engine from the Fiat 126 — more powerful and more reliable than the previous versions
• Professionally restored example, with meticulous presentation of the bodywork, interior and mechanicals
The Fiat 500 R was introduced in 1972 as the ultimate evolution of the iconic Cinquecento. The Rinnovata version retains the traditional lines of the 500 while benefiting from several technical improvements designed to increase its reliability and driving enjoyment. Thanks to the 594 cc engine derived from the Fiat 126, the 500 R offers better performance and a more modern driving experience.
This example has been professionally restored and presents itself in good condition, with a tidy interior and a correct mechanical impression. The car preserves the charm and simplicity that make the Fiat 500 one of the most appreciated city cars in the world.
