Lot details Registration No: UCA366D Chassis No: 1176691 Mot Expiry: May 2017
- Recent respray (2016), new chrome, carpets and seats in 2015
- Featured on Antiques Road Trip TV series
- LHD example with one previous owner registered on V5
The Nuova 500, designed by Dante Giacosa, remains a masterpiece of packaging; the rear-wheel drive, rear-engined layout leaving a remarkably uncluttered cabin with adequate room for four passengers, despite the diminutive length of just 9.74ft. At its introduction in 1957 the little Fiat was powered by a 479cc unit producing just 13bhp, but by the time of the later 500 F the capacity had grown to 499.5cc and output to 22bhp - sufficient for a maximum speed of c.60mph combined with over 50mpg.
This LHD example was imported from Milan and shows just one previous owner registered on its V5. Finished in white with red interior, it was treated to a respray earlier this year and to new chrome, carpets and seats in 2015. Featured on the Antiques Road Trip TV series, the vendor describes the bodywork and paintwork as "excellent" and the engine and interior as "very good". Said to be "a lovely, reliable little car with much money spent" it is offered with a Swansea V5 and MoT to May 2017.
