Francis Lombardi was a renowned Italian coachbuilder who started modifying Fiat 600 models in the late 1950s, offering unique body styles not available directly from Fiat, including the Lucciola (Firefly) with four doors. These modifications were not merely aesthetic but also practical, enhancing the vehicle’s accessibility and functionality without compromising its iconic design and performance characteristics.

The Fiat 600 Lucciola therefore, represents a rare piece of Italian automotive history. Combining the practicality of a four-door configuration with the timeless design of the Fiat 600, it offers collectors and enthusiasts a unique opportunity to own a vehicle that embodies the innovation and craftsmanship of one of Italy’s most celebrated coachbuilders.

The car is in need of a full restoration but remains in a good overall state, with its original plates and complete with all parts. It is deregistered and it seems that the original color was a shade of aqua green. Anyway, the overall look seems quite nice: it doesn’t look like a car abandoned outside but like a car paked once and then forgotten; it’s not cheap but on one side it doesn’t need much resources to be restored, on the other side the seller accepts offers.
