A rare little Italian hatchback showing just 86,420 miles...The Fiat Strada 130TC Abarth was a fascinating left-field entry into the 'hot hatch' wars of the 1980s.

The 130TC was a drivers' car, posting better performance figures than the omnipresent Golf GTI and in a world where fuel injection ruled the roost, Fiat produced the results with a pair of Weber carburettors and a 2.0-litre engine.

Coming out of a 12-year hibernation, this original UK supplied, right-hand drive car has been owned by the present vendor for some 12 years.

He drove the car for a while before committing it to long-term dry storage as a possible future project and we understand that the car was running well up to the point of being driven into storage.

The vendor tells us that the windscreen is cracked and will need replacing along with a section of the plastic trim at the bottom of the door, and there are some small rust bubbles on the bodywork.

The Cromodora alloy wheels (including the spare) are described...
