The seller offers for sale this Fiat 500L from 1968, a compact classic equipped with a 0.5-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine and manual transmission . The car was purchased in the Isère region and originally came from Italy. According to the seller, it has been driven sparingly and received recent maintenance including a fresh repaint, new tyres, renewed ignition components and a new fuel tank. The engine starts normally, produces no blue or white smoke when warm and emits no unusual noises. The gearbox has shifting issues, and one driveshaft requires replacement. The interior is presented in tidy condition with black vinyl upholstery and a repaired rear seatback. Electrical functions operate correctly. The car has no accident history or rust, but currently lacks a valid technical inspection due to the driveshaft issue.
The Fiat 500L represents one of Italy’s most iconic small cars. Introduced as an upgraded version of the original city car, the 500L added comfort touches while retaining the simple, charming mechanical layout that made the model a European favourite. Its compact size, light steering and accessible running costs helped shape its reputation as an ideal city companion. Today, the 500L remains popular among classic-car enthusiasts for its nostalgic character, mechanical simplicity and lively driving feel. Well-preserved examples offer an engaging blend of vintage style and everyday usability.
