The Appeal

The Fiat 500 is one of Italy's most endearing automotive icons, and in Abarth replica guise it gains a dose of sporting character that elevates the little city car into something altogether more exciting. Finished in Bianco 233 with a Rosso interior, this 1969 example looks the part.

This car has been comprehensively restored, both mechanically and cosmetically. Registered with the Automotoclub Storico Italiano and accompanied by its original period number plates and registration document, this charming Cinquecento appears to be a well-sorted example worthy of serious consideration.
