DESCRIPTION

An incredibly rare mechanically and cosmetically original 1959 (June) Fiat 500 ""Nuova. The ""N"" was the last year to have the grills in the front panel for cabin ventilation along with the stylish aviation-style indicators and sidelights which were replaced in late 1959 for front mounted indicators and sidelights due to legislation rules for safety reasons. This model also features the ""tette apribile"" meaning sunroof model, a short canvas hood as opposed to the now named ""trasformabile"" convertible full hood, providing more headroom due to the new metal rear section of roof and a new floor layout allowing more leg room.

Sourced from a private collection in Italy and registered in the UK in July 2014, this beautiful 500 N stands on its four new 125/12 white wall tyres in its original Fiat colour of 449 ""Blu Medio"" with stunningly trimmed blue and white interior and matching high-quality door cards. The original wiring loom was cleaned and checked, the switches and speedo are original. The 110*000 * 479cc 16.5hp engine was maintained to a high standard, right down to the re-plated Fiat bolts and the 110 N gearbox. The car has also been rust proofed and the wheels have been powder coated in the correct shade of Ivory.

Respected Fiat 500 restorer, Kelvyne Baker of Latifa Estates International.
