We’re very pleased to have found another great 500 D Trasformabile, a model that we’ve got to know and love over the years! The lovely specimen we have in front of us here, chassis no. 504678, was originally delivered on the 28th of June 1963 to the vicinity of Ravenna in Emilia-Romagna. The Fiat is finished in the lesser-seen colour of Azzuro Pervinca, a beautiful light Blue with a hint of Grey to it. The interior is finished in vibrant Rosso leatherette and the softtop is black.

Today this Fiat is presented in near new condition throughout, thanks to a full restoration about a decade ago in Italy (some imagery of restoration works are on file). We sourced the car straight out of a German collection near Cologne, where it has resided for 10 years (next to Lamborghini's, Alfa Romeo's and Maserati's amongst others). The previous owner was not looking for a 500 particularly, but just couldn't resist to add it to his collection of tasteful Italian cars from the 60's and 70s' - especially due to the incredible quality of restoration which is quite rare on a Fiat 500. The car has subsequently been kept on top of almost regardless of cost and is documented fastidiously. It is accompanied by a thick history file containing TÜV inspections, recent service invoices, some restoration images and even period documentation such as an original owners (German) manual and Libretto. The accompanied Libretto shows the entire history of the car from 1974 onwards. Although the earliest history remains unknown, it is believed the car was delivered in the Emilia Romagna region when new - close to Ravenna. The Fiat has remained in Italy until 2015, when it was first registered in Germany by the aforementioned collector. All aspects including mechanics, brakes, electrics and the body present exceptionally, with all the right details in place.

The paint finish is vivid yet consistent and panel gaps are correct throughout. The interior is equally neat, sporting the correct rubber floormats as well as the overmats.Presented in ultimate Trasformabile configuration, it simply does not get much better than this. Last but not least has a hazard switch been installed (compulsory in Germany) for safety reasons, again keeping usability in mind. It needs nothing before being used as intended in the forthcoming Summer. These get increasingly more difficult to get hold of – so don’t miss it. We can supply this example on Dutch plates if desired or with German export documents for easy worldwide registration. We also ship worldwide - so please get in touch for a quote.

Bite-Size:

If you’re looking for a greatly restored 500 D Trasformabile in a desperately attractive spec, the hunt can (finally) come to an end!
