1972 Fiat 500L - 594cc & Synchro Gearbox

Winning bid
£8,800

Highlights

  • Handsome example of Fiat's 500 'Lusso' with upmarket trim
  • Bare metal restoration, documented by photographs and invoices
  • Substantial history file including previous registration documents

The Appeal

The Fiat 500L - the Lusso - added a layer of refinement to Fiat's legendarily utilitarian city car. Still ever-compact and simplistic, the 500's character remained ever-present with only gentle upgrades for the more discerning motorist. Needless to say, it's also the 500 of choice for modern enthusiasts. 
This 1972 example has undergone a bare metal restoration, comprehensively documented by photographs and invoices. A substantial history file accompanies the sale, including previous registration documents and restoration records. Bought right here at Car & Classic in 2021, it is now being offered up for sale as the vendor no longer has the space required.
