The Appeal
Exterior tweaks and more comfortable seats are what set the later 500L ‘Lusso’ model apart from earlier, more spartan versions of Fiat’s iconic city car. Those improvements are part of what makes this pretty Coral Red 1971 car so usable.
The car benefits from an older repaint and an engine rebuild. The paintwork shows signs of age in the photos, but inside and out it remains presentable, with scope for the buyer to make it better if they wish.
We are told that the car has had just four keepers and always been garaged. It comes with the added reassurance of ACI registration and a lengthy Revisione valid to June 2028.
