Please note - We wish to confirm that the vehicle dates from 1981 and not 1971 as erroneously printed in the catalogue.
SUMMARY
One of very few surviving examples of the Abarth-influenced, first generation Ritmo 105TC. To be sold at No Reserve.
DESCRIPTION
- In April 1978, FIAT launched its new three/five-door hatchback, the Ritmo (Italian for rhythm) however in the UK it was marketed as the Strada (road)
- The first sports version, the Ritmo 105TC, arrived in May 1981 and was available as a three-door only
- It was powered by the 1,585cc DOHC, 4-cylinder unit from the FIAT 131 which generated around 104bhp
- This smart, first generation, left-hand drive example was imported by our vendor from South East Italy in 2018 to join his substantial Private Collection of Italian cars
- It has been MOTd and registered in the UK but has had little use although the steering and brakes have recently been refurbished
- Supplied with its Certificato Di Origine, its Italian logbook, the current MOT valid until 13/06/2024 and its UK V5C stating 'No former keepers'
- In very good condition all round, this lively little FIAT 'hot hatch' is on offer at No Reserve
