Introduction
Jacob Boodrie
The iconic, fun, and carefree car that beat mini into production by 2 years makes a return - this time in matt black.
In '67 Fiat released the 500L, a "richly" trimmed and better-appointed car than the standard 500F.
The 500L gained tubular guard protecting the front bumper and corners of the rear. redesigned hub caps, bright trim, anti-glare dashboard, a new trapezoid instrument binnacle and more storage space. Except for the tyres the 500L mechanics were identical to the 500F - why fix something when it's not broken!
This 1970s example owned by Ben has a bit of a "rat look" about it; matt paint, bumper guards removed. It's a fresh unregistered import having been restored in Italy with the engine being rebuilt too.
This auction listing was written by Jacob after liaising with Ben the owner, who photographed the vehicle.

Thanks
Ben As a previous owner many years ago what would i find if i lifted the carpets ? Also why matt black ? and do you have a reserve
to avoid wasting time ?
Hey Mike, thanks for your interest. I’ll let Ben answer your colour questions. I can let you know that the reserve isn’t published. But Ben has set it low so it should sell at auction. Best just to bang a bid in if you like it 🙂 Cheers Adam
Hi Mike thanks for your questions if you lifted the carpets you wouldn’t find very much the floors were replaced when it had its restoration in Italy a few years back its all solid. I didn’t choose the choice of paint i didn’t have the restoration done i bought 2 off a family but it suits the car very well and has received many good comments over the past few months i dare say its the only one in matt black. The reserve is set at the lower end of the valuation at 5k and in this condition a very good price. Thanks Ben.
