PLEASE READ THE LIST BELOW OF EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN DONE

This little Fiat 500 has been totally stripped and then renovated to a very high standard. The car was dismantled and then sandblasted.

·         New. professionally welded.  pressed steel floor panels throughout

Then every mechanical component was stripped. reconditioned or replaced and then carefully re assembled.

·         Door mechanisms and locks striped and rebuild

·         Interior replaced including new seats. carpet. door cards. visors and sound proofing

The engine and gearbox were stripped and cleaned and then totally rebuilt using the following new components. effectively giving the car a brand new engine and drive train. It will still need to be 'run in' for the first 150-200 miles. its that new!

·         New main bearings and seals

This 1972 Fiat 500R has effectively been rebuilt to an as new standard while retaining as much of its originality as possible. Most of the body panels are the ones it rolled off the production line with all those years ago. Mechanically the car is faultless and has just sailed through its first MOT.

As an Italian import. Luigi does not have his number plates and V5 yet (we have just applied to DVLA for them and should have them in 1-2 weeks)
