Vehicle description

Model history:

The Fiat 500 D is considered a part of Italian car history. The model was produced from 1960 to 1975 and enjoyed great popularity before it became an absolute icon over the years. In total, more than 4 million copies were produced, which were sold throughout Europe and beyond. The 500 D was an evolution of the 500 F and featured a number of improvements. This included in particular the new engine, as well as better suspension and brakes. In addition, there were also some visual changes that differentiated the 500 D from its predecessors.

Regarding the brake system, the current owner describes good condition without defects, with a state of use of about 70 to 90 percent. Overall, the chassis is in a neat condition and ensures not only driving stability, but also a unique driving experience.

Interior:

In the interior, the driver is greeted by a stylish imitation leather interior in beige-brown. Combined with a classic two-spoke steering wheel and the neat dashboard, the interior becomes an absolute highlight. In general, the interior has been designed in a very minimalist way and conveys a timeless and unmistakable charm. As the series of pictures shows, the interior is in a neat condition.

Mileage:

The small car was driven over the asphalt for almost 9,4694 km without an accident. The special highlight of the Fiat 500 D is the removable folding roof, which provides an airy driving experience on hot summer days.
