The Appeal
Every now and then Fiat 500 enthusiasts come across little gems like this one: a 500L with only two previous owners, presented in an adorable pastel blue colour and which has been used very little after receiving a complete restoration.
The car has been with its current owner for a long time, since 1990. It has been lovingly cared for in his summer residence and only used for one month a year. This helped to preserve its condition after the restoration.
It was also fitted with the more powerful 595 cc engine of the later Fiat 126, making it considerably more capable of keeping up with modern traffic. We have been told that this 500 is in excellent mechanical condition and has a valid overhaul.
