I’ve just bought a 1972 Fiat 500L,it’s a bit of a basketcase, with a lot of parts missing including seats,dash etc etc. I’m looking for some of the better online resources and forums regarding information and classifieds that do not require a yearly subscription and selling your soul.

We brought a1966 500F back from Italy and the best resources we found were a Haynes manual, Italian EBay and the uk shop Ricambio.

Like a Mini, everything is available new so the easiest route is just to buy new parts. Good secondhand bits don't appear often.

Forum wise I just found google searching the problem would guide you to the best forum answers anyway.

Best of luck getting it back in good shape smile

When I saw the heading I was ready to throw up given what the current 500L looks like! banghead

But OP yours is a 1972 500L - lovely!

My mother's 1st car was a 1967 Fiat 600 with the fold-back roof - happy memories.

Good luck getting it as you want it.
