Lot number: 118
Fiat 500D "Suicide Door" Museum Quality!! 1963 - One of four superb cars entered by the same vendor and only now available due to a change of direction in his purchases, this stunning, ultra-desirable, 1963 Fiat 500D with its rare forward opening "Suicide Doors" is described as "Museum Quality"!!
This "500" has been "sympathetically restored" using all the correct period parts and the end result is what you see today , the result is beautiful or maybe it should be " Bellissimo" to be correct. The end result is an exterior that is in fantastic condition with no rust or marks, bear in mind this was never a rusty hulk to begin with, just a car that needed a little tlc here and there. The interior is also superb and needing no more work, all in a great condition and period correct.
While having the cosmetics attended to the mechanics were also checked over, anything that needed doing was done including a service to the engine. A new generator was fitted as it showed low charging and now this rare 500 stops, starts and drives perfectly.
The vendor has set all areas of the car as "Excellent" and you know what? We agree with him. With a current UK MOT through to February 2018 this little 500 is ready for a new home.
