Striking and rarely seen gray paint over a red interior
Restored around 2018–2019 with photographic evidence

The Appeal

Right-hand drive Fiat 500s are rare. Those that did make it to Great Britain usually succumbed to rust and were simply thrown away. That makes survivors like this 1969 500 F very special indeed. Produced from 1965 to 1972, the F-series refined Dante Giacosa's original Nuova 500 design with conventional hinged doors and improved trim, and it remains the definitive version of this beloved Italian microcar.

Our car is reported to have undergone restoration work around 2018–2019, though the seller notes that full details of the work performed are not available beyond some photographs. It has been kept in dry storage, and the seller says it is a joy to drive and a consistent attention-grabber wherever it goes.

BEFORE YOU BUY

This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:

✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We request that a nonrefundable fee be paid if you are the lucky winning bidder at auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our helpful FAQs and T&Cs for specific rates.

✓ This vehicle is "Sold As Seen", on an "As Is Where Is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are solely for guidance purposes, and it's customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle prior to purchase for your own peace of mind.

✓ VAT is included in the buyer's fee. VAT may or may not be included in the final bid or offer price, as specified in the listing.

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do, and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorcycles for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no outstanding financing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

✓ We also check whether vehicles are recorded as being written off as part of an insurance total loss claim at the time an advert is placed on Car & Classic, and we helpfully provide write-off category labels (Cat C/D/S/N) for your assistance. However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle's status, and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.

✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection

or delivery. Importing vehicles may result in additional customs duties and import taxes, so it's worth checking beforehand. It is the bidder's responsibility to confirm import eligibility prior to purchase.

✓ Unless stated otherwise, you must assume that any cherished, personalized, or heritage license plate is not included in the sale of a vehicle.
