Description
1,280cc OHV Inline 4-Cylinder
Engine Single Weber Carburetor 75bhp at 6,000rpm 4-Speed Manual Transaxle 4-Wheel Independent Suspension 4-Wheel Disc Brakes *A svelte and stylish late-60s 'Etceterini' *The last independently-developed Abarth model *Desirable 'S' model with improved suspension *Fiat 850/124 underpinnings with svelte Lombardi coachwork *Exceedingly rare, believed to be one of 30 build and 4 known in the USA THE CAR OFFERED From 1968 to 1972, the Carrozzeria Francis Lombardi Company of Vercelli, Italy produced a small, rear-engine sports car based upon the Fiat 850.
It featured attractive, streamlined coachwork in the wedge-style that was very much in vogue at the time.
Tiny in dimension but very well proportioned, the Giuseppe Rinaldi-penned design had exotic looks that belied its humble Fiat underpinnings.
Curiously, the car was marketed variously as the OTAS 820 Grand Prix, Lombardi Grand Prix, the Giannini, and as the Abarth Scorpione during its production life.
