This is a great understated classic. it looks like a standard Fiat 500 but has been Abarthised by Middle Barton Garage amongst others. It features a Middle Barton 695 cc Engine. 5 speed close ratio gearbox. disc brake conversion. Jaeger Instrument Cluster and adjustable suspension. It is an absolute hoot to drive. was fully restored some years ago but still presents very well.

Replacement for FIAT's much-loved 500 'Topolino'. the Nuova 500 debuted in 1957. A radical departure from its predecessor's essentially pre-war design. FIAT's new baby featured unitary construction. an opening fabric roof and all-independent suspension while carrying its engine at the rear. The 479 cc power unit was an air-cooled overhead-valve twin and the gearbox a four-speeder. The basic 500's austerity was not well received. prompting the introduction of a revised and better equipped version endowed with refinements such as wind-down windows. upholstered rear seat. column-mounted switchgear stalks and hubcaps.

Introduced in 1960. the 500 D used the 499. 5 cc engine of the 500 Sport in de-tuned form. In 1965 it was superseded by the 500 F. the latter's altered bodywork incorporating front-hinged doors and a shortened sunroof. while mechanical improvements included a strengthened transmission. Maximum power increased to 22 bhp and the top speed to within a whisker of 60 mph. Introduced in 1968 alongside the standard 500 F. the deluxe 500 L. while mechanically identical. came with exterior cosmetic enhancements and an improved interior featuring new instrument panel. seats and floor covering. An immense success for FIAT. almost 3. 00. 00 of these adorable little cars had been sold when production ceased in 1975.

This little car has had over £6 k spent on it. comes with Tax and MOT and turns heads wherever it goes. It is a factory Right Hand Drive Car and is priced to sell when compared to standard cars. Call for a full list of the modifications to this little rocket!
