Description
Lot #70 - Restored in Italy, then imported to Los Angeles in 2005, this Fiat features Abarth tuned exhaust, suspension and wheels, and correct badging. Thousands were spent on the restoration. It runs and drives fantastic. The little Fiat 500 coupes, or Cinquecento as they're known in Italy, with their reliable 2-cylinder engines, are favorites of the Italians. They were fun, sporty cars on the race circuit back in the day and have a huge racing history all over Europe. This car was restored by a Fiat specialty shop just outside of Milan back in 2005. It was shown in Italy a few times, then was brought over here and put into a collection a few years ago. It has been pampered and driven to shows and concours events on occasion. Restored to this level, these cars are hard to find in this country.
