Description of 1949 Fiat 500 Standard

Barn find, Survivor,
1949 Fiat Topolino, (Little Mouse) absolutely original car from paint to upholstery. No rust, solid floors, solid body.
Sat in same garage for 50 years, Mechanicals have been completely redone, Motor completely professionally rebuilt. numbers matching to car. Less than 200 miles ago, New brakes, new fuel system, carb rebuilt, tank cleaned and coated by local radiator shop. new tie rods and steering adjusted, new convertible top. New Excelsior tires, new shocks all around. New Clutch and pressure plate rebuild. Rear deck carpet replaced, I have the original but it has a hole from battery compartment, (acid). Ready to drive and enjoy.
Car is to nice as original to restore in my opinion, everything as from the Fiat factory in 1949. All lights work, speedo and temp gauge work, oil pressure works and holds at 25 lbs at idle. Fuel gauge does not work but the gauge jumps at ignition turn on, I think the sending unit is bad? Wipers do not work, but have not looked into why?Car drives nice and true, original Patina from an absolute original car. Milage is in Kilometers.
Slight rust on bottom drivers door edge, but no rust through, see photo.Original Rubber floor matting in excellent condition, Paint is original and has been buffed out, drivers front fender is a different shade of grey so must have been repainted 50 plus years ago?
A rare car in a rare original condition. Car has owners manual and original key.
