FIAT 500 ABARTH Launched in 1957, the second-generation Fiat 500 has become an icon in automotive history. A symbol of Italy and Dolce Vita, it, like the Vespa, represented the social and economic revival in Italy. Derived from the 600 model launched two years earlier, the "Nuova 500", to distinguish it from the model it replaced, was a popular success, with almost 4 million units produced between 1957 and 1975. Its impact on the automotive industry was significant, and it was produced during this career in a variety of body styles and by different factories, thanks to international licenses. Equipped with a 479 cm3 twin-cylinder delivering 13 bhp, its 2.97 m, 470 kg body enabled it to thread its way through town and open the door to many families. With its rear-mounted engine, the trunk of this city car is in the front. As early as 1957, Abarth offered a conversion kit. The famous Italian tuner transformed the little city car, increasing its power in particular. After numerous victories and records, the Turin-based brand agreed to deliver cars directly to Abarth. The 595 and 595 SS, then the 695 from 1964 onwards, saw their power ratings rise from 19hp to 38hp, enabling it to reach a top speed of 135 km/h. We are offering for sale an attractive restoration project. Dark gray in color, it is equipped with its air-cooled twin-cylinder engine. The interior, with its carpeted seats, will be restored, as will the bodywork. The mechanics are non-rotating and require a complete overhaul. (Sold non-running and non-rotating, further information and photos on request). Engine: air-cooled 497 cm3 twin-cylinder Transmission: 3-speed manual Power: approx. 19 hp Dimensions: 2.97 x 1.32 x 1.32 m

1968 FIAT 500L Chassis 1978860 Collector's registration Desirable version Good condition 9 000 / 11 000€ Invented by Dante Giacosa, the Fiat 500 was manufactured in Italy between 1957 and 1975. It was codenamed ""110"" for the saloon and ""120"" for the Giardiniera version. The 500L was launched in 1968, at a time when no one expected a new 500 to be presented. It was a "luxury" version: on the outside, only a curved chrome bar doubled the front and rear bumpers, while the interior was completely modified and featured the instruments of the Fiat 850, as well as a "dressed" dashboard and new adjustable seats. The model we're presenting is a 1968 500L. It comes in a beautiful orange hue, with a black skai interior. In good general condition, the car has been restored by its previous owner. The gearbox has just been changed. The most accomplished version of the little 500, the L is the most desirable for those wishing to take advantage of the little Fiat's versatility. 1968 FIAT 500L Chassis 1978860 Collector's registration document Desirable version Good condition 9 000 / 11 000€ FIAT 500L, 'Invented by Dante Giacosa, the Fiat 500 was manufactured in Italy between 1957 and 1975.
