The seller offers for sale this 1970 Fiat 500 L, powered by a 499cc air-cooled two-cylinder engine, paired with a 4-speed manual transaxle. This example was originally delivered in Imperia, a small city on the Ligurian coast in northern Italy, and later passed to an owner in Turin, Fiat’s hometown, who fitted the regional TO plates the car still wears today. It subsequently spent a long period in the ownership of a family in the harbour city of Genoa, before the current owner, a keen car collector, acquired it from his uncle, making him the fourth owner in total. The car has been repainted in its original colour, Blu Turchese, and retains its original cognac interior and tapestry. The odometer reads 4,853 kilometres. It runs on original 12-inch steel wheels and is powered by the correct 110F 499cc inline-twin engine, driving the rear wheels through its four-speed transaxle.
The car is accompanied by an ASI (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) certificate, confirming its originality and providing proof of ownership. It has recently passed the mandatory inspection, valid until July 2028. The paintwork and platework are in good condition with some minor flaws, the engine runs smoothly and the gearbox shifts without difficulty.
Introduced in 1957, the Fiat 500 became one of the defining symbols of postwar Italian mobility, putting a nation on wheels with its tiny rear-mounted twin-cylinder engine and irresistibly compact dimensions. The 500 L, or Lusso, arrived towards the end of the model’s life and offered a more comfortably trimmed and better-equipped interpretation of the beloved cinquecento. Charming, economical and instantly recognisable the world over, the little Fiat has become one of the most collectable and endearing classics of its era.
With its documented history, original colour and interior, and supporting ASI certification, this Fiat 500 L presents as a genuine and appealing example of an Italian icon, ready to be enjoyed by its next enthusiast owner.
