Buying A Classic Fiat 500 In Italy And Driving It Back To The UK

In 2016 bought a Fiat 500 in Italy and drove it back to London! I went to Italy to buy a classic Fiat 500 in the country they were made in.. I saw a few cars, picked one and then set out on 1000 miles journey back to London. Did this 50 year old car make it back??
