The Appeal
Compact, light and with simple mechanics, the Fiat 500 was destined to be one of the most famous cars in history. Over the years, almost four million of these small and versatile cars were produced, a number that is still impressive today.
The 500L, or Lusso, was launched in 1968: it was a model with a slightly richer trim but retained its characteristic minimalist approach. It would be wrong to call it a luxury car by the standards of other brands, but it was more than enough to make the 500L particularly desirable to discerning customers.
This particular example was carefully maintained by its only two previous owners, and received a complete restoration in 2017. Since then, the car has been featured in publicity photo shoots, adding a touch of Italian style to residences and resorts in the Numana and Sirolo areas - and it's easy to see why!
