Fiat 500 by Gucci

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat1

Not content with doing a fashion variation with Diesel, Fiat has now gone high-end with an iconic fashion retailer, producing the Fiat 500 by Gucci.

It follows a similar path judging by the initial snaps. A choice of black and white, both with distinctive contrast stripes, along with matching seatbelts and internal colour scheme, not to mention plenty of Gucci logos and embossed leather seats. It's the fashionista's dream retro car.

Announced for the Milan Fashion Week, it will go public at the Geneva Motor Show on 3rd March. Launch date? Price? We don't know, but we would guess at 'fairly soon' and 'not cheap'. More images over the page.

eBay watch: 1962 Fiat 500 D in ‘show room condition’

Posted on | Leave a comment

Yes, the new Fiat 500 models are nice enough, but they haven't quite got the character of the originals, of which this 1962 Fiat 500 D is a prime example.

Details from the seller (technical aside) are scarce, but photos are plentiful, including the one above and the interior shot above, which show off a car claimed to be in 'show room condition'. It's also said to have just 9,000 miles on the clock, 12 months MOT and the soft top.

Like I said, the photos do it more justice than words, so see them all at the site. Right now bids are at £3,100, although that figure has yet to match the reserve.

eBay watch: Fully-restored 1970s Fiat 500L

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat500

Fiat did a decent job of remaking the Fiat 500, but nothing beats the original – like this fully-restored Fiat 500L which is available on eBay right now or a modest price.

Dating from 1970 and totally restored in 2006, this tax-exempt car is 'not a new car in showroom condition' and 'has the odd slight dent here', but also has undergone a lot of work, including having a brand new sunroof and professional decals, with a mileage of just over 27,000. Downside? Well, it's an imported left-hand drive – if that worries you, it's perhaps not the car for you.

Sold with all paperwork and invoices related to renovation, it's currently on eBay for a very affordable £1,550 – a small price for a very cool small car.

Posted on | 1 Comment

Fiat_ferrari_new

We first saw this in 2009 but since then, details of the stunning Fiat 500 Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari have been scarce. But now we have details of both price and numbers – one big and one small. I think you can guess which is which.

Taking its name from an Abarth-tuned version of the original Fiat 500 produced in the 1960s, the Abarth 695 Tributo Ferrari (the latter part of the name relating to its Ferrari looks), is limited to just 152 cars, so we're talking supwer exclusive as well as super stylish.

eBay watch: fully-upgraded 1970 Fiat 500L car

Aside from the starting price, there's not a lot wrong with this superb Fiat 500L, which dates from 1970.

It's had the works. According to the seller, you're talking a fully restored vehicle that's been upgraded to a 650cc engine/gearbox, as well as having new electrics, chrome, rubbers, sunroof, wheels, tyres…pretty much everything that can be replaced (without losing the spirit of the original).

eBay watch: 1972 Fiat 500

Posted on | Leave a comment

Fiat500

It's back on the market in a modern form, but nothing compares to the charm of an original Fiat 500. This being a particularly fine example.

Dating back to 1972 and with just under 53,000 miles on the clock (which is nothing), the car has been on the receiving end of plenty of work, including new suspension swinging arms, new brakes, wheel bearings, king pins and bushes, plus new track rods, steering rods and a new sun roof. The interior, thankfully, is still in original condition.

Talking of condition, the seller says the body work in places needs a 'little attention but nothing to affect MOT', so bear that in mind. It's currently on eBay for £3,500.
