Working on our 1970 Fiat 500
November 21, 2024
The little 1970 Fiat 500 has been on the ramps at our Suffolk HQ for the team to get the last few bits and pieces done on the car before it is handed over to our marketing team to become a future competition car.
Jon has recently replaced the track rod ends on the car which was simple enough and then he could readjust the tracking on the car. After that, Jon took the car on road test – and after a small idle speed adjustment – the car is ready for a good clean and then to become a competition car in the near future.

Jonn has now finished the wheel bearings on our 1970 Fiat 500 and has refitted the offside wheel. Both front uprights have been greased and the car is now almost ready to be won through Bridge Classic Cars Competitions.
Remedial repairs to our 1970 Fiat 500

Parts have arrived for our 1970 Fiat 500 so we can now continue on with the repairs.
We’ve taped up the cut wiring in the engine bay and neaten the whole area.
Adjusted the pedal heights via the stop on the clutch pedal and added a small, rubber buffer to each pedal stop.
The grommet has been refitted grommet on fuel pipe in the engine bay.
Next up, Jon has cut a piece of MDF and covered it in sticky back foam to fit behind the battery. This has helped to secure into position.
Adjusted the nearside door striker, removed the front wheels.
Remove nearside track rod. Strip and fit new track rods. We’ve found the ball pins are much smaller so won’t fit so we’ve had to leave until the correct ones arrive.
Strip and fit new front wheel bearings.
Fiat 500 Appraisal
November 14, 2024
Our 1970 Fiat 500 has been in the skilled hands of technician Jonn as he has been conducting an initial appraisal. He stripped the brakes so he could clean and inspect them before fully inflating all of the tyres.
The gearbox oil was topped up as was the engine oil. Jonn then torqued up the wheel nuts before refitting the trims and road testing the car.

Who doesn’t love a little Fiat 500? One of the quirkiest and most iconic of classics has now arrived at Bridge Classic Cars and we’re not keeping this one a secret…of course it’s a future competition.
We’ve been looking for a nice one for some time and when this little gem was offered to us as an original RHD example, beautifully restored we couldn’t say no!
