Remarks
Lots spent (£10000) in last 17 years including £4500 in December 2020 with only 120 miles covered since and only 14750 miles in last 18 years with mot certificates to support. Autosport mag explanation provided which helps not only to give context to what Abarth did with these amazing little cars but provides specific details which makes this car rather more like the original than those examples where a 126’s engine and a few bits are fitted to support the spurious claims of Abarth evocation
Restoration Notes
Gazzolli engine, bodywork by Carlo Caccaviello including flared arches with wider wheels, Abarth dials; 5 speed Ferrari style gearbox and gate, disc brakes, race shocks, Fusina Abarth front sport seats
