Hi
Just back from Amalfi Coast and my wife who never shows any interest in cars has fallen in love with the romance of an original fiat 500. She won't entertain LHD so I am on the look out for a decent RHD fiat 500.

I will do the usual internet and club search but thought I would check in here to see if anyone new of one for sale.

A restored one with the 126 gearbox swap would be ideal

I had a 1963 RHD 500D with suicide doors, and no syncromesh on gears. Worth a fair bit now, but research what you/she wants. Don't get lost in the romance.

You really want one with a complete 126 engine and gearbox - the 500cc original is a bit asthmatic. As Martin said there were a few for sale at Brooklands. RHD cars will generally have had a lot of bodywork done so check carefully!

Would this fit the bill? It's a Middle Barton rebuilt 500D - belongs to my wife, but I she rarely uses it.
