What do people think this is worth. It’s a ‘63. Had a full restoration. It’s inmaculate. Comes with spanish logbook and nova form to register in the U.K. thanks

If it's a 1970 L, it's missing some of the items that are characteristic of L's - like the rear bumper guards, and the chrome/plastic trim around the rear window seal. It's also got the wrong emblem - supposed to read FIAT 500L. I think what you have there is maybe what was originally an L, but was restored to look like an older one.
 
The 500F was still available and had a round speedo (I have a 73 F with round speedo but no centre console). I'm wondering if it's an F. I think the rear badge is wrong for the year possibly. Looks nice but have you inspected it in person?
 
It may have some 'L' features, but it is NOT an 'L'---the speedo is the give-away. The 'L' model had an unique-to-that-model speedo head--the large square version, complete with fuel gauge (as against a 'low fuel' light in all other 500 variants. BUT, if it goes well, is reliable and makes you happy--just go out with it and enjoy yourself.(y):)
 
I will do but only for the right price. If things are wrong for it’s age it’s not worth the Sam amount. Is it worth £8k if it’s as tidy as it looks?
 
The accurate way to date it is from the chassis-number.
It has an "L" centre-console inside and the external grille above the engine-lid is a few years earlier than 1970 with its six screws.

The interior looks nice and the price is more than I would pay but probably reasonably fair.

I would do a very careful inspection or from recent shared experiences on the Forum, be prepared for additional costs after you've bought it.

if it has been restored to sell then I'd say there's a reasonable chance it won't be as tidy as it looks. I say this because the seller will be wanting a decent margin and full restorations are very expensive. At very least I'd want to be seeing a lot more detailed photos. Sorry, can't really comment on the price from over here.

EDIT - looking at those extra photos the ID plate under the bonnet looks to be an F.

Pretty genuine then?
Genuinely made in 1970 if that's what you mean. That's provided the stamped numbers on the scuttle match the plate.
You're not going to get confirmation or otherwise from anyone who hasn't seen it, as to its true value or condition. Even then, as you are being told already, it could turn out to be a poor restoration.
From the few photos you've shown I'm guessing it's a good one.
 
F interior door opener
F door pulls (to 1969)
F Window Winders
F door panels
R? Ashtray
No sill trims

think it has as indicated been restored to sell...
I'd ask for photos during the resto....
could be shiny paint over lots of filler...

ive restored 8-9 alfas, minis and escorts previously so I do know what I’m looking at bodywork wise. I don’t know anything about 500’s so if anyone can point out obvious things that are wrong that would be helpful and appreciated. If it is as good as it looks with the correct plates and stamps then perhaps someone could give me a ballpark figure as to what it’s worth. I’m not asking for anyone to stake their house, reputation or swear on the bible.

they rust from the inside out, outside n, top to bottom, bottom to top....

first place to look is floors and inner/outer sills.. I'm sure you will be able to see a good replacements vs bad....
then front wings and arches....
have a look at some of the restos on here and you will see how much rust there can be...

can't help value wise.. I have no idea of these modern 500s :devil::devil::devil:
