Description
1972 Fiat 500L Saloon
Registration no. CMR 727L
Chassis no. 3042413
Introduced in 1968 alongside the standard 500F, the deluxe 500L, while mechanically identical, came with exterior cosmetic enhancements and an improved interior featuring new instrument panel, seats, and floor covering. An immense success for FIAT, almost 3,000,000 of these adorable little cars had been sold when production ceased in 1975. The 500 remains as popular today as it ever was, and recently was voted 'Sexiest Car' by the readers of Top Gear magazine.
Restored some time ago by specialists, this right-hand drive FIAT 500L is finished in dark blue with red interior, while notable features include a sunroof, front bumper bar, and a later-style FIAT logo to the front grille. The FIAT was purchased from a family of Italian restaurateurs, proprietors of one of Mr de Savary's favourite Italian restaurants in London. Last MoT'd in 2019, the car is offered with old MoTs, servicing receipts, and a V5C document.
