Lot Ended
Description
Lots of good
recent expenditure including an engine refresh and a repaint; original RHD
model; a cute little car that’s ready to make your own
First
registered in April 1972, this rare RHD Fiat 500 was purchased by our vendor as
a gift for his wife in 2023. Over the last couple of years he has been busy
getting it up to modern road standards.
Some of the work carried out
includes all new lights, new steering rods, new dynamo and starter, new clutch,
new ignition system including voltage regulator and a full engine refresh
including new bearings, gaskets, valves etc.
Our vendor wasn’t just
looking at improving his Fiat’s drivability but also the looks and so he fitted
a new bonnet and sent the car off for a respray in its original colour. He also
fitted a new radio with new speakers.
Our vendor has undertaken all the
work himself apart from the respray so there aren’t many invoices on file,
although we do have a nice detailed note of everything that has been
done.
Looking in the history folder we find some old MOT certificates
along with the logbook showing eight former keepers plus a few old handbooks.
There are also some old photographs from before the respray showing the car
painted in the colours of the Italian flag. A quick look online shows MOTs were
a frequent occurrence up until its last expired in April 2019.
Running
and driving nicely on our site, this RHD Fiat 500 is on offer here at a tempting
guide price and looks to be a decent useable car with some scope for minor
cosmetic improvement.
