Off Topic Any one know of a good source of 500's

[Spike1987]

Hi guys does anyone know of a 500 needing restoration for sale? The other option is to import one from Italy but don't know which company to trust. Anyone had any experience with any of them?

I'd speak to Tony Castle Millar @ http://www.middlebartongarage.com

or Steff @ http://www.fiat500.cc

I know of a really early F which needs a full restoration but he wanted stupid money for it.
Where snouts are you?

 

[Spike1987]

Thanks for the replys guys I'll look into them 2 websites, Franco what do you call stupid money mate? I'm in Peterborough but don't really mind travelling this country I would have to use an agent if it's abroad though

It's in Faversham Kent.
He wanted £2500 but it needs doors, sills, floors, rear arches, front panels, wings & bonnet. All exterior trim & interior trim.

Hi Spike have a look at the Catawiki classic car auction site. There is an Italian classic car auction ending on 14th September there are quite a number of Fiat 500's 600's even a Bianche. You have to register to bid and then get the car back if you win, they are a dutch site.

There are a few at ebay.uk, have you checked those?

EBay cars appear of very questionable quality.....avoid £400 of shiny paint over an "exhausted" car....

I've had a look on ebay but can only find one for restoration and that's in Italy, unless you've seen something different. The rest seem to be restored cars,

Thanks for your help guy's I'll look into the websites mentioned and see what I can find

Hi Spike;
I will e-mail you direct--I may have just found what you're looking for. I was at the body-shop who resuscitated my 500 today--they have a 500F that they were going to restore, but the amount of work that they have has put an end to that idea.

Spike;
I have tried twice to put an e-mail through to you, but on each occasion it tells me 'I have not entered a message' and shuts me down---contact me direct on [email protected] or, ring me on:--01244-683824

Hi hobbler I've got your message regarding the car in Liverpool, I would definitely be interested in that car, if possible could I get the owners details and I'll give them a call and see if I can get them to send some photos before I make the treck to Liverpool. Thanks spike
