Bring summer to your driveway

now available- soon on auction

Bring a little Italian sunshine to your driveway with this 1971 Fiat 500L. Finished in a vibrant shade of Arancia, this classic Fiat combines its unmistakable Italian charm with a more sporting character and a series of thoughtful mechanical upgrades.

Fully restored, inside and out, and presented in a striking orange finish, this Fiat 500L is anything but an ordinary example. It retains the instantly recognisable silhouette of the original 500, while its modified engine, suspension and wheels give it a distinctive personality of its own.

With 53,000 km on the odometer, three owners and a valid APK, this is a particularly characterful little Fiat, built for enjoying the road and making the most of sunny days.

Restored inside and out

This Fiat 500L has undergone a complete restoration, covering both the exterior and interior.

The body has been restored and finished in Arancia, a colour that suits the cheerful character of the Fiat 500 particularly well. It gives the car a fresh, lively appearance while remaining entirely in keeping with the spirit of Italian motoring in the 1970s.

The underbody has been treated with underbody coating, providing an additional protective layer.

The restoration gives the car a cohesive appearance, with the exterior, interior and sporting details coming together as one carefully considered package.

A little more than your average Fiat 500

The original 500 was never about outright speed. Its appeal was always its compact dimensions, light character and uncomplicated approach to motoring.

This particular example, however, takes things in a slightly more sporting direction.

Power comes from a built 650cc engine producing approximately 32 hp, giving this little Fiat a livelier character than a standard specification would suggest.

The engine setup includes:

Built 650cc engine
Approximately 32 hp
Faster camshaft
Sports exhaust with a distinctive, louder note
Electronic ignition
Open-air filter
Electronic fuel pump

The combination gives the car a more individual character, both mechanically and acoustically. The sports exhaust adds an unmistakable soundtrack, while the engine modifications give this Fiat its own interpretation of the classic 500 driving experience.

A small car with a little more attitude.

Sporting suspension and stance

The sporting theme continues with the suspension and wheel setup.

The car features sporting suspension at both the front and rear, combined with larger tyres for a more purposeful stance.

To accommodate the wider wheel and tyre setup, the wheel arches have been rolled.

The result is a more assertive appearance while keeping the familiar proportions of the Fiat 500.

It is a subtle reminder that this particular car has been built with driving enjoyment in mind, rather than simply being a standard restoration.

A cabin with character

Inside, the Fiat combines its classic 500 atmosphere with a number of sporting touches.

The interior features an Abarth sports steering wheel and an Abarth gear knob, adding a period-inspired sporting character to the driving position.

The instrument panel has also been upgraded and includes additional gauges for monitoring the engine and its supporting systems.

The instrumentation includes:

Voltmeter
Fuel pressure gauge
Engine temperature gauge

These additions complement the modified engine setup and give the cabin a more purposeful feel.

The result is an interior that retains the charm of a classic Fiat while incorporating equipment that suits the car’s sporting modifications.

Italian character, built for sunny days

Few cars capture the spirit of Italian summer motoring quite like the Fiat 500.

Its compact dimensions, open and airy character, unmistakable shape and cheerful proportions make it perfectly suited to leisurely drives, coastal roads and afternoons spent exploring smaller towns.

Finished in Arancia, this example brings an extra splash of colour to the experience.

It is the sort of car that feels right parked outside a café, tucked into a little village square or heading out for a weekend drive with nowhere particularly urgent to be.

And thanks to its distinctive engine setup, it brings a little more personality to the journey as well.
