This Fiat 500 is not the usual dressed-up, superficially restored 500; it has been totally restored with no expense spared. Every system has been restored, from the engine, fuel tank and system, brakes, suspension, interior, full paintwork, new vinyl roof, new lights and bumpers; everything is new!
The car is in wonderful overall condition, and benefits from being a Lusso: bright trim below the doors, sunroof, ashtray, locking front luggage compartment (bonnet or frunk), fuel warning light, door-switched courtesy lighting in the interior, screenwashers, windscreen demisting from the heater, beautiful new black trim, full new, correct carpeting throughout, bright metal drip rails and door window trims, twin period chrome mirrors and chrome rear number plate light cover. This is possibly the most desirable 500 as it has all the benefits and luxuries (!) of the later 1968-1972 500L Lusso along with original right-hand-drive, and finished in beautiful Giallo Positano.
A fabulous car to drive, with good power from its 500cc engine with 4-speed gearbox, light and direct steering, excellent roadholding and handling, powerful four-wheel drum brakes, it is a charming car, whether on winding passes, your favourite city promenade or beachfront cruise. It is fully serviced and is ready for the new owner! Owned by a very experienced Ferrari owner/driver and long-term Carsup client, it is only for sale as he has too many other cars and motorcycles and wishes to slim down his fleet a little!
The Fiat 500 L (Lusso) was the comfort‑oriented evolution of the evergreen city car, built from 1968 to 1972. By the late 1960s the original Nuova 500 had become a cultural fixture, but rivals like the Mini and Renault 4 were nudging buyers toward more refinement. Fiat’s answer was the 500 L: keep the nimble, frugal mechanics of the 500 F, add polish and practicality, and extend the little car’s appeal without pricing it out of reach.
Mechanically the L stuck to the proven recipe: a rear‑mounted, air‑cooled 499.5 cc twin rated at 18 hp (13 kW), a 4‑speed manual with a non‑synchro first, rear‑wheel drive, drum brakes all round, and a top speed of about 95 km/h (59 mph). The real news was in the details you touched and saw. Outside, distinctive tubular bumper overriders (“bull bars”) and extra brightwork set it apart. Inside, the L introduced a more modern, padded dashboard with a redesigned instrument cluster, smarter door trims with storage, carpeting, and better sound deadening. The front seats gained more comfortable, reclining backrests—transforming daily use without changing the 500’s essential simplicity.
Period testers praised the car’s manoeuvrability, miserly fuel use (around 5 L/100 km in gentle running) and its uncanny ability to thread medieval streets and tight parking spots; they also noted that crosswinds, gradients and sustained motorway speeds exposed the limits of 18 hp and a 520 kg package. Yet that was part of the charm: in town the 500 L felt lively, communicative and utterly at home.
The L proved a hit and became the best‑selling 500 derivative of its time, cushioning Fiat’s transition toward the 1972 500 R and, ultimately, the 126. It also cemented the model’s fashion credentials. The 500 popped up everywhere in late‑60s and early‑70s European media and advertising, often cast as the chic urban accessory. Pop culture sealed the deal—most famously, the yellow 500 driven by Lupin in the long‑running Japanese anime “Lupin III,” which turned the tiny Fiat into a global cult hero.
Today, enthusiasts value the 500 L as the sweet spot of the classic range: the cheerful looks and minimalist running gear of the early cars, blended with just enough comfort to make regular use a joy. It’s the city car that made “small” feel special—and kept doing so right up to the final 1972 model year.
