Highlights

Reported to be exceedingly original
Just one former registered keeper
Second owner was a collector who kept the vehicle on display
Retains its original Italian registration plate

The Appeal

The Fiat 500 L, or 'Lusso', was the most refined iteration of one of Italy's most beloved city cars. With its upgraded interior trim and distinctive chrome detailing, the 500 L has become a firm favourite among Cinquecento collectors, and finding a well-preserved, original example from the late 1960s is an increasingly rare prospect.

This 1969 example, finished in Blu Notte, is reported to have covered just 34,000 km in the care of only two registered keepers. The second owner, a collector, kept the car on display, which goes some way to explaining its reportedly well-preserved condition. Retaining its original Italian registration plate and with its Revisione valid until May 2026, this charming Cinquecento presents an appealing opportunity for those seeking a largely untouched, honest example.
