AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

IN RISALTO:
• Black plates (Rome) and original period registration book
• Only previous owner for 25 years, passionate about the model
• Documented conservative restoration with dedicated setup and 12-inch alloy wheels accompanied by a regular Fiat authorization
• Engine upgraded to 650 cc with synchronized gearbox derived from Fiat 126 and sporty exhaust
• Interiors renewed with Abarth-inspired fittings and aesthetic elements

HISTORY/PANORAMA:
Presented by Dante Giacosa in 1957, the Fiat 500 is the undisputed symbol of mass motorization and Italian automotive design worldwide. The example offered, registered in 1968, retains its black plates with the Rome province and the original first registration certificate. The car belonged for 25 years to a single owner/lover who carried out a meticulous documented restoration introducing handling and performance improvements, including the homologation of the 12-inch wheels with official Fiat approval.

BODYWORK/PAINT:
The body is in excellent overall condition, free of rust traces; the floors and sills are healthy and intact. The seller notes only a minor, almost imperceptible dent on the rear hood, visible in the accompanying photos. The car wears 12-inch alloy wheels homologated with a lowered sporty setup.

INTERIORS:
The cabin has been completely renewed and presents in excellent conservative condition. The seat coverings and door panels have been enriched with dedicated Abarth finishes, logos and inscriptions. All interior components are orderly and well aligned.

MECHANICS:
The mechanicals are efficient and come with a service, and thorough check at an authorized workshop. The car is equipped with a 650 cc two-cylinder engine paired to the Fiat 126 gearbox (with synchronized gears) and a sporty exhaust system. The braking system, carburetor, shock absorbers, and steering joints have been checked; the battery is new.

DOCUMENTS:
The car is delivered with its black plates and original vintage registration booklet (in two pages), the restoration photo documentation, the official Fiat approval for the installation of the 12-inch wheels and the double keys.

The car can be viewed and collected by appointment.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
