Highlights
- Restored bodywork and interior
- Engine rebuilt and mechanics overhauled
- Overhaul valid until March 2026
- Charming colour scheme
- The last 500 with a 600 cm³ engine and synchronised gearbox
The Attractions
The last 500R was fortunately changed little from the original, except in one key aspect: it was given more power. This restored 500R also offers a fully synchronised gearbox that makes it even more suitable for driving on today's roads.
It is truly stunning, in a fresh mint green 'ice cream' colour. The restoration work covered the bodywork, interior, engine and mechanics, so it is in excellent condition. A long-term overhaul valid until March 2026 confirms this.
The classic 500 needs little introduction and the latest 500R is probably the most desirable of the standard models. This one looks really irresistible.
