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 Engine. 5 speed close ratio gearbox. disc brake conversion and adjustable suspension. It is an absolute hoot to drive. was fully restored some years ago but still presents very well with no obvious rust. A 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. Carried at the rear. the half-litre engine was an air-cooled overhead-valve twin and the gearbox a four-speeder. The basic 500's austerity was not well received however. prompting the introduction of a revised and better equipped version endowed with refinements such as hubcaps. wind-down windows. upholstered rear seat. and column-mounted switchgear stalks. This process of step-by-step improvement would continue throughout the 500's life. 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 a new instrument panel. seats and floor covering. The car is finished in the perfect colours of White with Red interior and also has had the Abarth instrument binnacle conversion. This is the ultimate go faster 500 with the looks of the standard car. All the money has already been spent so this is ready to go. It has been sin storage for a while so we are in the process of cleaning and putting a new MOT on the car but it will not be in stock very long at this price. There are many invoices on file for all the work done and it is a known car to the Abarth people.
