A captivating and low mileage example of Fiat’s perennially loved 500, here in its most desirable form as a 500D, with Trasformabile full convertible bodywork and rear hinged ‘suicide’ doors.

​

The history file, which contains Italian documentation back to Day 1, shows that this baby Fiat was first registered in the chic ski resort of Cortina d’Ampezzo in the Italian Dolomites, on 12th March, 1963. Documentation also confirms that the car was still in the same ownership some two decades later and even in 2014, was living only a short distance from Cortina. Long term ownership no doubt goes some way to explaining both the low mileage of c78,716 km (49k miles) and the exceptional condition. Of some note in this regard is the entirely original and quite superb interior trim.

​

From detailed photographs in the history file, this has always been an extremely sound example. However, in 2014, a light cosmetic renovation was undertaken to a very high standard, the result so impressive that prior to importation into the UK in 2014, this car was awarded the ASI Gold standard plaque in its native Italy. Works essentially extended to a bare metal repaint and a comprehensive mechanical overhaul, which included an engine strip and rebuild. Photographs of these works are in the history file.

​

Since these renovations, this Trasformabile has been part of a small but select collection and has seen only sparing use and then only in fine weather, covering a nominal 420 km between 2014 and today. Consequently, the car remains in great condition to place it firmly as one of the very best examples of its type.

​

The car has recently been serviced and MOTd and comes complete with an extensive history file, original toolbox, rear mounted picnic hamper, and printed copies of owners and workshop manuals. This beautiful little car is ready to be used this summer.

​

A dedicated trailer for this car is available that can be negotiated at separately.
