• Last and most refined evolution of the classic Fiat 500 series, produced only from 1972 to 1975 • Equipped with the 594 cc engine from the Fiat 126 — more powerful and more reliable than earlier variants • Professionally restored example with neat presentation of bodywork, interior and mechanical condition
The Fiat 500 R was introduced in 1972 as the final evolution of the iconic Cinquecento. The Rinnovata retained the familiar 500 silhouette while benefiting from technical improvements aimed at increasing reliability and usability. With its upgraded 594 cc engine from the Fiat 126, the 500 R offered improved performance and a more modern driving experience.
This example was professionally restored and presents itself in tidy condition, with a well-kept interior and a mechanically sound general impression.
