This is a beauty! Very small but totally cool. 1967 Fiat 500F - two door left-hand drive. The 500F was available between 1965 and 1973 and was the first Fiat 500 model to have front hinged doors. 650 cc, registered January 1967.
The Fiat 500 was designed by Dante Giacosa, and released in the summer of 1957. Ten years on, and the design had been refined somewhat; now with front hinged doors, and a smaller sunroof, but still with the same classic Italian elegance, perfect for the narrow streets of Rome, Milan, Turin...
This is a wonderful example of a '67 Fiat 500F - one of 4 million Fiat 500 (cinquecento) cars built in Italy between July 1957 and 1975. The 500F is an upgrade on the previous 500D - most obviously in it's new front-hinged doors. Check out the rear hinged 'suicide' doors on an earlier Fiat 500D. This 499cc right hand drive example was first registered in the UK in February 1967.
The Fiat 500F was in production from 1965 until 1973. it was designed (by Dante Giacosa) to be very small and very light, using as little metal as possible. The fabric sunroof was very much a part of this - it was not optional. This striking example was registered in January 1971. It's a right hand drive model, built for the roads of the United Kingdom. In 1971, two Fiat 500 variants were available, the 500F, shown here and a slightly fancier model the 500L; with additional nudge bars, but without the front grille seen here.
