About the 500

Iconic Italian microcar that became a symbol of post-war mobility. Rear-mounted air-cooled twin-cylinder engine. Suicide doors on early models add period character. Surprisingly practical interior packaging. Became cultural icon and remains highly collectible.

Desirable Options

Suicide doors (pre-1965), original tool kit, Abarth exhaust, period accessories, sunroof, correct Pirelli tyres.
