Let's do something different ...Fiat 500 L (1970) - 650cc Synchro - "SAFARI" Style

We have remade this atypical FIAT 500L from 1970, with the synchronized gearbox for its FIAT 126a 650cc engine to which a SEMI SPORT MUFFLER 1 CHROME EXHAUST 60mm FOR 126 ENGINE has been combined; furthermore, cooling fans (for motorcycle radiators) have been installed in the engine compartment, which can be activated as needed by a switch located next to the boot lever.
The roof is dominated by a specially modified luggage rack which houses a 20lt hard plastic tank painted in burgundy and the spare wheel, both of which are well secured and wrapped in an elastic safety net. Above the windshield there is a single roof rack, necessary for the installation of 2 additional 27w LED spotlights, which we find duplicated on the front tubular of the vehicle; both pairs of additional lights can be switched on independently and alternatively by 2 lever buttons embedded in the radio cabinet.
With a rise of 4 cm, it is possible to install 4 NEW knobby tires (50% road + 50% off-road) MR M + S200 125 R12 rebuilt and prepared for any riveting (even the spare wheel).
Therefore, the vehicle was created with this exclusive set-up with a decidedly "off-road" note (so to speak) and sympathetically baptized "SAFARI", with the addition of a multiple quantity of gadgets and functional accessories, including a TWO-TONE HORN and the ELECTRIC WIPER PUMP.
Worthy of a nice note is the addition of a small steel barbecue (housed in place of the spare wheel) in black color (40x30cm) with attached stainless steel tools, just so that nothing is missing for any outdoor picnics. ...

OUTSIDE
The vehicle has basically undergone a TOTAL EXTERNAL aesthetic RESTORATION with repainting of the engine compartment, luggage compartment and bodywork, intervening, where necessary, with the restoration of the most deteriorated parts (few). The underbody has also been coated with a DOUBLE protective layer, to make the part more resistant in case of use of the "light off-road" vehicle.

INSIDE
Seats TOTALLY RESTORED in the frames and padding of the seats, in which the front seats are covered with EXCLUSIVE anatomic covers (specially handcrafted and not available on the aftermarket). Installed an ocher colored carpet with 2 doormats. While the front and rear panels have remained the original ones as they are still in excellent condition.
The passenger compartment is equipped with a simple and functional audio system consisting of:
90s SONY AM / FM digital RADIO with attached STEREO ANTENNA with GRONDINA CONNECTION IN BLACK STEEL
RADIO CABINET with 2 integrated SPEAKERS
LONG SHELF
BASKET FOR OBJECTS in metal
