2011 ABARTH 500

2011 Abarth 500 Esseesse.

Selling my well-looked-after Abarth 500 Esseesse. It has covered 59,500 miles, low for its age, and has been maintained well during my ownership. The car is fitted with the original Monza racing exhaust and remains true to the factory specification, with no aftermarket modifications. As part of the Esseesse package, it has an upgraded ECU and BMC air filter, and I'll include the cleaning kit for that. I've only run the car on premium fuel during my ownership.

Other specification notes:

Leather seats

Electric mirrors

Air conditioning

Good audio system

Unmarked alloy wheels

Tyres with plenty of tread remaining

Next minor service due in August 26

Shortly after purchasing the car in 2024, I had the following work carried out:

New Koni shock absorbers front and rear (correct Esseesse specification)

New Eibach springs front and rear

New front and rear top mounts

New rear wheel bearings

New rear axle (the original had suffered from rust, which is common on Fiat 500s)

Timing belt and water pump

I have invoices and paperwork for the work completed during my ownership. The car has been maintained by MDZ Italitec, who are well regarded among Abarth owners.

Things to note:

A few age-related marks, small dents and scratches

The Monza exhaust valve was seized and broke when being freed off. The broken piece is inside the rear box and causes an occasional rattle. The rear box needs removing to retrieve it. My garage is aware of the issue and can explain further if required.

Overall, this is an honest, well-maintained example with sensible mileage, a strong service history and a significant amount of recent maintenance already taken care of.
