This cheerful left-hand drive Fiat 500L is believed to have spent most of its life in Milan, and reportedly received a full restoration in Italy in 2018. It was imported to the UK in May 2024, and the vendor tells us it has been “serviced and stored in the best conditions possible” since then. The history folder contains a large stack of parts receipts from 2024 onwards.

Being a 500L ('Lusso') model, it comes with tubular bumper guards, chrome strips in the windscreen and rear window, and a carpeted interior with tan leatherette seats and black plastic dash. We're told: “The car has been kept as close to the original specification as possible, including twin leading brakes on the front and single leading brakes on the rear. Having a 499cc petrol he runs very well and can (almost) keep up with regular traffic, travelling up to 50 miles an hour!” A voluntary MoT is currently in place, although this will have expired before the auction.

The car comes with an HMRC importation letter with NOVA reference number, instruction booklet, a history book about the Fiat 500 and a modern ‘500 by Gucci’ hardback brochure. The V5C is also present, showing 1 former keeper. First registration in the UK was on 1st June 2024.
