Attractions
A true icon of the Italian economic miracle, the tiny, friendly and lively 500 is one of the most famous and unmistakable cars of all time. Small, boxy and spartan, it offered motorists practicality and versatility without too many frills. A formula that was highly successful, leading to it being one of the best-selling cars in history. Today, the 500 is just as successful as a classic car, still very desirable and popular.
This splendid 1969 example has spent its entire life in Macerata, has had only three previous owners and has a very well-documented history. The last owner has restored it carefully and improved it with skill and tact in some aspects, with the intention of using it to take part in rallies and gatherings. After receiving some work to tune it up, it is now ready to get back on the road.
