Fiat 500 Abarth Replica 1970
UK • 27 Oct 2017
Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This UK-registered Fiat 500 has been transformed into an Abarth replica with a rebuilt 650cc engine and numerous performance upgrades. While it boasts significant investment in parts and labor, along with a comprehensive history file, it is important to note that it's a replica and the mileage is not warranted.
Condition
6
While the car has undergone a documented restoration and numerous upgrades, it's an Abarth replica, not an original, which affects its collectibility and value. The mileage is not warranted, and there's evidence of recommissioning after a long period off the road, suggesting potential past issues.

Description
A fully documented restoration in 1999 turned this UK registered Fiat 500 into an Abarth replica with a new 650cc engine professionally rebuilt to racing standards and Oselli tuned.
Alloy barrels, gas flowed heads, fully balanced and with a deep alloy sump.
Fuel is fed into a Dellorto FZD carb, which was fitted with a new sport inlet manifold in 2013.
Electronic ignition fires up the engine with sound augmented through the sports exhaust.
Upgrades by Middle Barton Garage in 2012 costing £4,300.00, include recommissioning after a long period off the road, new Spax gas adjustable lowered front and rear shock absorbers and an Abarth 595/695 front leaf spring.
Minilite style wheels shod with Bridgestone tyres and wheel arches complete the Abarth conversion.
Included in the comprehensive history folder are various photos, a mileage log, Classic Car Weekly article and from 1999 many bills totalling £4723.00 for the Abarth conversion and repaint.
