Well done 'rafdac' for keeping another 500 (L) alive AND BEING USED. Would I be correct in thinking that you have a LHD headlamp on the o/s of the car?---it looks like it is 'masked' on the dip section of the lens. RHD headlamps are available (new) from Mark Jayes at "Motobambino" who are just outside Carnforth (upper section of the M6).

Covers a small blemish and it's 0 to 60 in a fortnight!Fab and with that go faster stripe, must be good for +0.05mph
Yes you are right and it passed many MOT tests before it was picked up a couple of years ago. My sister and Mum live near Carnforth so will look up motobambino. Many thanks.

Looks very nice. You'll have a lot of fun with this setup.
Working from home whilst in lockdown. Not too bad as I can remote work. Would prefer the office though. Be a while until Val is let out of the garage, so let's get some posts of our little babies going to keep us all motivated during these tough times.

Here you go. Not my 500 but My 1500 decided that since Autoitalia Canberra was cancelled On 29 March it would go to the old site of the show for a solo photo shoot.

We bought this 1971 500L in Naples in 2015, planning to restore it slowly but on our first trip out it burst into flames! A wire connected to the number plate shorted out and then the fuel filter bulb caught fire and sprayed fuel on the engine. It was definitely a memorable first drive. All fixed now and in running order.

Glad all fixed and looking great. Does not look a good experience to have a fire :-(
