In 1965 the type D was succeeded by the F-model (1965 to 1972), with 13 kW (18 HP). In 1968 a luxurious version, namely the 500 L was presented, it can be recognised from the exterior by additional chrome holders and trim lines, as well as a wider dashboard. Further changes through the evolution of the F model also include differently, with inserted nuts, assembled air intake grilles on the engine hood. After some successful tests on the N and D models, a proper solution was finally found for creating a long lasting construction between the driveshaft and wheel hub, which can still be found in the Fiat 126 in the same dimensions. These elastic band front car couplings are constantly the cause for numerous repairing.
Model from Minichamps is simple, just like the real model. Even so, it is quite well done. First, I consider the shade of color is well chosen and the paint is applied flawless. In general, the exterior is very well done, so we have bars and wheel covers that are very well chromed, headlight lenses that have those ridges on them, but front turn signals are painted. In the rear, rear lamps stand out neatly worked and engine air vents, which are suggested by painting though, are immaculately drawn. I can say that, at first when i saw the the model, for a moment I thought that this vents were punched. The model presents soft top, here reproduced by a plastic cap. I tend to think that it is removable, although I did not forced to prove it.

The interior, although is simple, fully reproduce the original spartan appearance. No carpet or belt, made entirely of black plastic. Maybe it would have been welcome that the back seats to be mobile, but it is not.

The same story with the engine or under the front hood. Nothing unusual, all in black plastic.
