Photocopy of Fiat 500 User Manual.
All floor pans/arches/sills in good condition. All black seats front and rear have no rips and tears. There are no leaks and everything on the car is original, except for all new replaced parts listed below:

A great deal of money and dedication has been put into her. She is in showroom condition, always garaged and just 'turns heads'. Picture taken at the new Fiat 500 launch party in January 2008.
The bonnet closes with an Abarth rubber strap accessory put on by previous owners.
