Over 50 colour photos of the vehicle at the point of our acquisition & during every stage of our most comprehensive & professional refurbishment.

Since being in our possession. we have been meticulous in our preparation of this unique vehicle prior to offering it to the market. by undertaking the following comprehensive works to concours standard: Full painstaking glass out bare metal repaint in the original colour of Blu Scuro paint code 456. The original panels. sills. doors. floor pans etc were found to be in exceptional original condition & thus did not require any new metal being let in or replaced. The car was sprayed in 2-pack epoxy etch primer before being shaped to better than factory standards. then primed with 3 coats of high build 2-pack primer. Then flatted & painted with 3 coats of quality 2-pack gloss. To complete this masterpiece the vehicle was flatted back before being machine polished to perfection. We also removed the tyres from the road wheels & shot blasted back to clean metal. then refinished these to factory specification along with fitting new tyres & new chrome hub caps along with new matching bolts. We also supplied. fitted & painted to match a brand new spare wheel with tyre.

We naturally had to remove the original engine & painted the engine bay along with a comprehensive strip down & test of the engine & component's which were found to be again as new & thus were painted to factory specifications & reassembled with new gaskets  & seals along with a full & thorough service. We fitted a new exhaust along with the brackets. hangers. elbows & again all new gaskets.   To reassemble the vehicle we fitted the following quality parts: New petrol tank. cap & sender unit (We could not save the original tank as it had started to rust internally) filled it with £25 of super unleaded. New Varta premium battery & clamp set. Brake master & slave cylinders. New brake shoes & pads. Complete brake overhaul & fluid. New front & rear badges with associated clips (We also saved the originals). new front & rear bumper sets with associated spacers & bolts etc. new front & rear nudge bar set again with new spacers & fittings etc. new front headlight units with chrome bezels. new indicators & repeaters along with all new bulbs to all lights noted in this text. new rear light units & rubbers. new rear number plate light housing. New mirrors. new engine rubbers. grommets. seals & trims. new oil filter cap. New luggage rack with associated leather belt straps & straw period suitcase. Engine heat shield pad. Number plate holders. New chrome gutter trims. New period metal number plates (We have also kept the originals). Chrome effect windscreen wiper blades along with all service items. Fuel filter. Air filter. Points. NGK Plugs. Oils. fluids etc. We have also undersealed the vehicle with Wurth spray gun applied quality underseal to protect it going forward for the next 42 years of its life.

Our associated expert trimmer also has made a new navy blue mohair soft top roof with beige inner lining & fully refurbished the original sunroof frame. He has achieved a better fit than the factory ever did!

With labour. materials & parts we have spent in excess of £9. 50 on this unique vehicle (That's not including the vehicle in the first place & transport!) & have adopted the same attitude to perfection as we take when restoring an £85k+ Pagoda. This must be without doubt the most unique. honest & best 500F in the world – Find another with this mileage. low ownership & full original service pack with a fully stamped book!

It's no doubt better than when it left the factory in 1971. it's a collectors opportunity & a superb investment. it has only driven less than 20 test miles since its refurbishment & hence this cheeky chappy is now MOT'd & being offered for sale for only the second time in its life to date!
