Description
Fiat 500 L | 1971
- 0.5L 2-cylinder petrol engine
- Manual transmission
- One family owner since new (mother and son)
- Restored in 1992: paint, engine, and interior
The seller offers for sale a 1971 Fiat 500 L cabriolet with manual transmission and a 0.5-litre 2-cylinder petrol engine. This charming Italian city car has belonged to the same family since new and was fully restored in 1992, including the paintwork, engine, and interior. Since then, it has been used sparingly as a second car for city driving. The paint remains in good condition, showing only normal wear for its age. The engine starts easily, runs smoothly without smoke or noise, and the gearbox operates correctly. The interior would benefit from new black sky-style seat covers to bring it back to its original look. Overall, the Fiat is mechanically solid and ready to drive, with only minor cosmetic work needed.
The Fiat 500 L (“Lusso”) was introduced in 1968 as the more refined version of Italy’s beloved microcar. With chrome trim, updated bumpers, and a more comfortable interior, it combined iconic design with everyday usability. The lightweight two-cylinder engine and compact dimensions make it ideal for urban driving, while its open-top charm and nostalgic appeal have made it one of the most recognisable classics in the world.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork. Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
