The Appeal
The Fiat 500L, the 'Lusso' variant of the iconic Cinquecento, offered a more refined take on Dante Giacosa's masterpiece, with upgraded interior appointments and additional brightwork distinguishing it from the standard car. Today, these diminutive city cars are among the most recognisable symbols of Italian motoring culture, and well-preserved examples are increasingly sought after by collectors across Europe.
This 1970 example stands out for its provenance, having remained with a single registered keeper for over 56 years, we are told. Presented in Giallo Positano, it is an eye-catching car that has reportedly benefited from recent attention to its interior and braking system. Some small imperfections to the paintwork are noted, but overall this is a charming example. We are reassured it will be delivered with a fresh revisione, ready for its next custodian.
