Very special 1972 Fiat 500F. having started with an excellent example of a basic Fiat 500 this car has been rebuilt to meet the needs of modern motoring.  
The rebuild was carried out between 1999 and 2006. The fact that the car is still in immaculate condition is testament to the standard of works carried out.
