Finished in attractive Blu 456 with Italian racing stripe
Revisione valid until July 2027
The Appeal
The Fiat 500 R, produced only between 1972 and 1975, marked the final chapter of the beloved Cinquecento lineage. As the last of the line, the R is a sought-after variant among collectors and enthusiasts alike. This 1973 example goes a step further with a 595cc engine upgrade and a synchronised gearbox in place of the standard non-synchro unit.
Presented in Blu 456 and wearing a racing stripe, the vendor describes this Cinquecento as a solid car, rating it 9/10 overall. Some minor signs of wear are noted, consistent with a car of this vintage that has been used and enjoyed rather than simply stored away. WhatsApp Image 2026-10-15 at 19.52.14 (2).jpeg3.31 MB
