500 (Classic) Hello

[mwpe]

Hi all, after loving the 500 for years, I have finally got round to buying one. It is a 1971 500L which spent the first 40 years of it's life in Sicily before being broufgt to the UK by an italian family. Since then it has had one owner who had it spayed Purple and used it as an advert for her cafe. She has now moved some distance away from the business and the little 500 is not suitable for the commute. It is mechically excellent but needs some cosmetic repairs. Here it is keeping my daughters new 500 company.
