The Fiat 500F was launched at the 1965 Geneva Motor Show and erased the imperfections of its predecessor, the D version. Thus, it benefited from doors opening "against the wind", offered a larger windscreen and a revisited and more "luxurious" interior. The mechanicals developed 18bhp. Automotive journalists at that time wrote that the Nuova 500 had finally reached maturity.
This Fiat 500 110F was delivered to Bari in Italy in October 1972 and bears the body number 0415. It was during a romantic trip to Italy that our collector's wife fell in love with this beautiful Italian and it did not take more for him to give it as a gift in February 2019. We can figure out that the car would have benefited from an overhaul of the electrical system, the soft top, the engine, and the front brake kit was replaced in April 2022. It now features a delicate sky blue shade, two-tone red and beige seats matching the beige piping and an anthracite grey carpet. The original Italian title is also in the file.
This version skillfully combines the improvements missing from the first versions, whilst retaining the charming dashboard: an excellent combination!
