eBay watch: 1972 Fiat 500L car

Fiat500

We do like the modern version, but you can't beat the original – like this 1972 Fiat 500L.

It's a right-hand drive with just over 55,000 on the clock, the current (second) owner selling as he or she is moving abroad. Essentially, it's a well-maintained car, described as 'well kept and garaged' and with some improvements (like a synchro gearbox added by previous owner), but by and large in original condition, as the images on the listing show.

There's a hefty list of recent replacements on the listing, plus a list of things that might need attending to, indicating that it's an ongoing project, should you need a hobby. But on the plus side, this is one of the cheaper 500s on eBay right now, with the price currently at £1,000.

eBay watch: Fully-restored 1967 Fiat 500 classic in blue

Fiat500

If you want something a little more authentic than the recent reissue, check out this fully-restored Fiat 500 classic on eBay right now, which could prove a bargain if you get it at the right price.

The car dates back to 1967, a right-hand drive model with 499cc engine, soft top and a blue paint job matched up with a grey and cream interior, a one-off finish for the seller. According to the same seller, it has had a 'complete new brake system and many new parts' and comes with a year's MOT and tax.

An eye-catching car, that's for sure and on eBay right now at £3,000. The seller claims 'it cost me a lot more to put it on the road 4 years ago', which we can well believe.

Fiat 500 by Gucci priced and dated for UK

Fiat_gucci

Fiat loves a special edition Fiat 500. Not content with launching the Ferrari version, a Diesel model and a convertible, the Italian car giant is now offering the Fiat 500 by Gucci in the UK.

First mentioned back in February, the car has been customised by Gucci to celebrate 150 years of Italian unification and the 90th anniversary of Gucci. Two variations will be available, a 1.2-litre model for £14,565 and the 0.9-litre TwinAir model, which will set you back £15,765. Both will be available online, first come first served, later this month.

Expect numerous special features, including the distinctive colour scheme, a mix of two-tone black with white interior or white exterior with satin chrome and black interior and the option to buy matching clothing by Gucci to go with your new runaround. None of which is likely to come cheap.

eBay watch: 1960s Fiat 500 van

Fiat_van

Here is a real gem and we suspect, something of a rarity – a 1960s Fiat 500 van.

It dates back to 1968 and according to the seller's description, has just 6,893 on the clock. You might want to confirm that. Aside from that, it has a slightly longer profile (it is a van, after all), but still has a soft top and a 499cc engine.

It's said to be 'in superb condition for its age' (with some improvements cosmetically for sure), has an MOT and of course, is tax-free. The bottom line price on the eBay site is £6,995, but you can make an offer if that is a little rich.

eBay watch: Fully-restored 1971 Fiat 500 Lux

Fiat

To be fair to Fiat, the company has done a superb job with the modern-day reissue of the Fiat 500. But the vintage ones just offer that little but more character, as this fully-restored 1971 Fiat 500 Lux demonstrates well.

This is an impressive, low-mileage model – just 25,000 on the clock over those 40 years, would you believe. It's also a 'fully and thoroughly restored' Fiat 500 with 'all works carried out by a UK Fiat authorised dealership'. That means all mechanics, electrics and bodywork, with the car ready to go as a regular ride or for shows.

Sold with the original handbook and Italian logbook (yes, it's a left-hand drive), the current price is £1,020. Many more images on the website.
