The Attractions
The Fiat 1800 was a large, spacious saloon with a sober, clean design. It introduced a sober three-box design that influenced the design of Fiat's four-door sedans until the 1980s.
Almost to confuse buyers, the 1500L was the same car equipped with the 1,481 cc engine as the smaller Fiat 1500. The L stood for Long. This combination offered buyers a cheaper car with all the space of the 1800.
Finished in beautiful burgundy with a matching interior, this lovely 1500L shows why the 1800's lines were so influential. It is rich in pleasing details, with light chrome accents, and this car is in admirable original condition. There are a few aspects that the buyer might want to fix up, but otherwise it looks ready to be enjoyed. It is also homologated as a six-seater - perfect for family outings.
