Here we have a lovely classic Fiat 500, this one is the very rare and sought after Right Hand Drive, Round dash models.
This has been my own car for the last 2 years, I have enjoyed taking this lovely car to local shows and it is a fantastic classic car. Time has come to say goodbye to this lovely little car to fund a Bedford CA project. Every time we have taken this car out, whether its a Sunday drive or to display at shows, people cant help to stop and talk to you about this car.
This example is a 1971 model, with the 499cc engine and 4 speed manual gearbox. It was fully repainted by its previous owner around 3 years ago, in original Fiat Pervincia Blue. The paintwork is still just as stunning now, as when it was painted. In my opinion the best colour for one of these, the paintwork is absolutely immaculate, a really deep shine, no noticeable dings or dents, no rust. The lovely paintwork is combined with lovely chrome bumpers. This car looks fantastic, ready to take to shows now.
This interior on this car is just as nice. White vinyl seats with matching Blue piping. No rips or tears, easy to keep clean, again I think this is the perfect colour combination. The carpets are all good etc. This model has the lovely round dial dash, with its superb original steering wheel. Everything works as it should. This car also has an easy to use sunroof, one clip and its opens, again its in lovely condition.
Lastly we have the white wheels with chrome caps. All tyres are good etc.
These cars are great fun to drive. Designed for whizzing round European cities, this car is very light and nimble. This isn't a classic difficult of expensive to run. Its starts first time and is always ready to drive. Everything is working as it should, the engine has had a recent service and tune, it just gone straight through a new MOT.
This beautiful classic Fiat is ready to be enjoyed now !!
