The Appeal
If charm had four wheels it would look like a Fiat 500. These petite city cars remain hugely popular, not merely for their character but because they are so reliable easy to live with.
This one has spent all of its life in the dry climes of Sicily, and it shows. Restored some years ago in factory-correct dark blue with a complementary tan interior, it is a really lovely example. The interior in particular shows the high quality work of a classic car trim specialist. It is factory standard except for the useful addition of a modern Bluetooth and USB-equipped radio.
The mechanicals are in similar order, thanks to regular maintenance and dry garage storage. It has been used and enjoyed sparingly, including for historic classic car tours. The car is in great condition inside and out and comes with a valid Revisione.
