1968 Fiat 500
Basic Information and History
This charming 1968 Fiat 500 is a timeless classic with an exciting background. The car was imported from Italy after the current owner was inspired by a similar model during a trip to Rome. It was kept in the owner's possession for several years before being registered in Sweden. With its round analog instrument panel, it has the perfect vintage feel, and the odometer reading of approximately 90,000 km may be accurate, but it should be assumed that the meter has rolled over once.
The Fiat 500 was launched in 1957 as a compact and economical city car and quickly became one of Italy’s most beloved models. Its iconic design, small exterior dimensions, and simple yet charming mechanics made it the perfect car for tight European city streets. The rear-mounted two-cylinder engine contributed to its low weight and easy handling, making the Fiat 500 both practical and fun to drive.
