The Fiat 500 was one of Italy's most beloved cars, even becoming a symbol of the lifestyle on the peninsula. It was a compact car, pleasing to the eye and very simple in construction. If someone were to produce a Fiat 500 from scratch today, exactly in the classic pose, they wouldn't be able to do it, because they wouldn't comply with the rules imposed on their cars. But an Italian company has started selling restored cars, which it sells at a lower price than a new Fiat Panda
Because the Fiat 500 was produced in many copies, the primary cars, which the company is looking for to restore, can be found at a low price. Then comes standardized restoration work, in a flow organized like a production line, so that everything can be done faster and more cost-effectively.
The company, called The Real Italian Company, announces that the prices for restored Fiat 500s start from only 9,000 euros. It is also possible to customize the works, through special shades of painting the body or through interior shades or other chic equipment in the passenger compartment, which will bring the price to higher figures, but anyway, for 9,000 euros you can buy a restored car that looks impeccable, say the Italians.
This amount includes the complete revitalization of the 500cc engine, suspension, steering, brakes and electrical wiring. The supervision of the process is handled by an engineer who once worked at Fiat, on the production of these models, so there is also an advanced level of expertise for these models, the creators of this car assure us.
It is certain that the idea of ​​restoring a classic model on a conveyor belt and selling it at an affordable price is a curious new approach!
