Highlights

- Carries Irish and Italian registration
- Practical and characterful estate
The Appeal
The elegantly named Giardiniera added extra practicality to Fiat’s effervescent 500. It was a remarkable transformation with Tardis-like interior space.
This characterful ‘72 estate was restored in Italy by a model specialist a few years ago. The vendor acquired the car from him and brought it to the UK. Finished in white with beige trim, including repainted bumpers, it is in great, usable condition. As the photos show, it has clearly been loved and enjoyed.
Reported to carry Irish and Italian registration documents, this is a very practical and charismatic classic that is ready for its new keeper.
