Love the mystery element of this one! Proper detective work trying to figure out the category and history. Definitely a "Cat in a Hat" situation with all those random bits in the boot. Looking forward to seeing how you bring this little Fiat back to life!

Riva is the other special edition, Wood dashboard, cream leather, dark blue paint with a mint green stripe

On camera, the front bumper, bonnet and hatch look a different colour. I’m sure they are fine by eye but that front bumper doesn’t quite fit to drivers wing. You might be lucky that’s it’s not registered as a cat. Love those seats, I think they are about of a Cult.

Insurance companies don't have to put a category on them if they think they will sell for more at auction

It’s a cat S, comes up on autotrader as a cat S.

Hi there i just got a 2013 Fiat 500 lounge edition for £3 grand today only 80 thousand on the clock but the problem im already having is weird grind noise when pulling away only in 1st gear my guess clutch bearing on way out ? i did know about this when purchasing it as the actual retail value is £4 grand hence the low price but it pulls really well they are so lovely to drive compared to my old Hyundai i10 which was a nightmare on the motorway lol , anyway goodluck with your new car i hope it goes well too

Does the noise change when you press down on the clutch? Hopefully it's just that and not a new gearbox. Good luck with it all.

@@carsalvage101 Noise sadly constantly there , the weirdest thing is there's like a belt slip sound too ?

Part worn tyres to cut your costs.

Also how much did you pay for your Fiat 500 ? if it was more than £3 grand for a category car then thats not good considering ive just paid £3k for a 2013 model with service history from a dealer with a years warranty , Arlington car sales in Farnham if you ever want a good cheap car thats safe they will not let you down my friend

Please don’t ever be under the illusion that just because the car isn’t recorded it means it’s never been crashed. Thousands of cars have a hidden past, service history or not won’t tell you it’s been crash repaired. I hope the grinding issue is an easy and cheap repair for you…all the best 👍🏻.

Can we see you do the work on this please instead of just showing us after the fact?

Cat anything makes a cheap car worthless. Insurers will refuse cover or charge ludicrous premiums if they ever had their grubby hands on the Cat history no matter how benign the reason.
