FOR SALE: Fiat 500 D Trasformabile 1964

EQUIPMENT
Full length folding roof. Suicide doors. Rubber floor mats. Whitewall tyre inserts. Ashtray. Spare wheel. Toolkit.

EXTERIOR
Subject to a recent and complete restoration this early 500 is in fine condition indeed. The body was taken entirely back to bare metal and recieved anti-rust treatment prior to paint. Having seen little use since completion last year. the timeless ivory paintwork presents very well throughout.

All the lenses on the car remain clear and crack-free. with the brightwork in good order too. The vehicle also benefits from a brand new fabric roof. No doubt this little Fiat is best enjoyed with the top folded back. and being a ‘Trasformabile' it folds back all the way.

INTERIOR
The cabin is sparse and without any superfluous features or trim. That being said the interior does present extremely well. with its pale green cloth and body-coloured panels all in fantastic shape.

On close inspection the upholstery is in excellent condition and is free from any marks. rips. or tears. The dash remains unscratched and the door cards too are without damage. New rubber matting covers the footwells. which are further protected by a set of removable rubber overmats.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
Opening the rear lid reveals a clean and tidy engine bay. Having had the engine removed during restoration this area also benefitted from sandblasting and a fresh coat of paint. Being the 500 D the engine is a two-cylinder 499. 5cc unit. which produces 22hp. Mechanically the car is in fine fettle and idles up to temperature without fuss. It is a real pleasure to drive.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
The Fiat sits on the correct set of 12-inch wheels. presented in ivory and finished with chrome embellishers; they are as new throughout. The wheels are shod in a matching set of tyres with little or no wear to speak of. Furthermore. during the car's restoration all black suspension components were blasted and powder coated and so now present as new.

HISTORY FILE
First registered in Italy on 18th February 1964 this 500 has covered little over 30k miles from new. In 2014 the car underwent a comprehensive restoration that was completed last year; this is backed up with photographs taken during the process. Also present in the history file is the original Italian registration booklet from 1964. which confirms important vehicle details such as the specification and chassis number - a rare item given the car's age.
