SUMMARY
Desirable, original, UK-supplied, right-hand drive 'Cinquecento' looking cute in baby blue.
DESCRIPTION
- This delightful, UK-supplied, right-hand drive Cinquecento Lusso was first registered in 1972
- 'Lusso' (translated as luxury) was the range-topping specification for the Fiat 500, and featured chrome bumper over riders, wrap-around rear bumpers, (removed in this case), ribbed vinyl seats and door cards, full interior carpets and a plastic-covered dashboard with a Veglia instrument cluster and an integrated fuel gauge
- Under the rear engine-lid sits a naturally-aspirated 499cc twin-cylinder engine, producing around 17bhp and driving the rear wheels via a 4-speed manual transmission
- Finished in Azzurro Chiaro Blue, over a tan vinyl interior with black carpets throughout, it sits on a set of 12" steel wheels, finished with period-correct hub caps
- From the history file, it appears this little 500L was restored during or around the 1990s
- Supplied with original handbooks, MOTs, invoices and handwritten notes dating back to the 1990s
