After a couple of month's wait my OH's new arrival appeared yesterday. The 500 Anniversario.

This was as a result of her significant birthday a couple of weeks ago which also coincided with our 10th Wedding Anniversary

Being the softie that I am I made a contribution towards the purchase as my Gift.

Needless to say she is delighted.

Very smart looking. By the look of the seats- no small children or dogs!;)

We have a cat so not an issue, I am told I act like a child sometimes, but if I behave will get a special dispensation to travel in the car. No Jeans though!!!
 
Nice choice of colour, inside and out. I've got used to the "new" rear lights now. It's a shame the surround for the infotainment screen isn't ivory to match the rest of the dash, but not a big deal. Regarding the seats, when my 500 was new, I sprayed all the bright red cloth with Scotchguard protector, and the seats were still looking good after 6 years. We replaced it in February for a 500X as we needed something bigger. Very pleased with it, but we both still miss the little 500. I'm sure you will both enjoy this one, and congrats on the milestones reached.
 
Hey, thank goodness I am not the only one on here with the Anniversario, you still have it? I/We get ours tomorrow, same colour :)
I would also change the rear lights as I much prefer the older ones and I am not to keen on the way the head unit sticks up. I have just found out ours has DAB but not sure about sat nav though.
Mrs was adament about getting a bright red 500 or maybe bright yellow, but hey, she seems very happy for the moment.

Still have it. Coming up to 2yrs now, no issues, My Oh still loves it.
 
Thank goodness it is not yours I have just bought. I am hoping to encourage my oh to come to a Fiat/Italian show or two, especially because of its uniqueness.
I am aware of one other, same colour, for sale at a dealer in Slough an that's it.
We found ours by accident while looking for any red or yellow 500, any model
 
I saw an Orangey one on the roads of Wandsworth during the week, the only other one I have ever seen; Is it anyones on here?

I have custom plates on order and they should arrive on Monday :)
I was thinking white tyre valves would help set the wheels off so guess I will have to get the paint out unless there are any recommendations.

Sadly, she was driven home from the dealers 10 days ago and has sat in the garage ever since (nowt wrong with her, at least I don't think), personal health issues! x
