Beautiful restored classic 1969 Fiat 500 L For Sale

After much deliberation our beautiful Fiat 500 is for sale. In April we had a trip to Italy with the aim of finding a Fiat 500 to bring back and keep. The car is far better than we ever hoped we'd find but for a couple of reasons including needing funds for a big trip we've booked since, we've reluctantly decided to sell.

The car is truly immaculate having been professionally restored in Italy (photographs available) and of course being there until recently (we brought the car back on a trailer wrapped in a duvet and it lives in our garage under a breathable cover so it has remained perfect!) This little Fiat is like a new car - it had a new engine as well as new suspension/ petrol tank/ battery etc so starts perfectly and potters around very happily  - it has barely worn Pirelli tires all round also. However they kept a few bits such as the badges/ switches which though immaculate all have an authentic original appearance - a perfect combination.

The paintwork is a beautiful dark blue with red interior - an original colour combination which to our eyes is one of the best. The blue comes up lighter or darker in some of the pictures - picture 6 above of the door/ mirror is a good representation. We've applied and are hoping the car can take part in the upcoming Goodwood Revival Fiat 500 60th anniversary parade in September - the car would be brilliant as it is although we were wondering about removable Carabinieri stickers to really stand out! The sunroof is new also. Being a 500L it has the extra chrome strips as it would have when it left the factory (2 along each side and also the correct chrome on the front and rear window seals) and luxuries such as a petrol gauge and sliding front seats that the 500Fs miss out on.

We haven't found the left hand drive an issue - it doesn't take long to adjust and if anything feels more special (you're not likely to be overtaking many people!) Plus there is the comfort from knowing the car hasn't been in UK weather for years.

The car is registered/ official in the UK and we have had a few local outings in it - to say the response from people is positive would be an understatement - lots of smiles and plenty of cameras/ phones being used too! We have the V5, MOT (no advisories) plus the paperwork confirming it's legal removal from Italy. Additionally there is a copy of the original Italian registration document plus a few spares including the winter vent covers. There is a complete set of period rubber overmats to protect the immaculate black carpets also. There are also the original chrome number plate surrounds which we took off the car when we removed the Italian plates (they go back to the equivalent of the DVLA there). If we were keeping the car longer we'd have some Italian style white on matt black plates made up to fit in these.

Please contact us for more pictures or for our phone number if you prefer to do things that way.
