The Attractions
The 500D is one of the most admired and sought-after models among the many variants offered in the long history of the New 500. It is equipped with the larger and more powerful 499 cc engine with 17 bhp but retains the iconic rear-hinged doors of the early years, so beloved by enthusiasts.
This '64 500D was restored with great care and respect in every detail, devoting scrupulous attention to bodywork, interior and mechanics. The work was carried out by an experienced model specialist, and the result is a car that is both true to factory specifications and finished to a very high standard.
The classic white paint matches perfectly with the delightful two-tone burgundy and white interior. It is in excellent condition both externally and internally and even the underbody looks as if it has just come off the production lines. For fans of these classics with a unique character, this is a real gem.
