The Attractions
The Abarth 850 TC is a legendary name in the world of classic racing. Originally built for Group 2 competition, the nimble 850 TC was a huge success in its day. Very few originals remain, making replicas extremely popular, and here we have a particularly well-made example, completed between 2019 and 2021. It truly captures the essence of the original, focusing on authenticity and quality in every detail and is fitted with an Abarth 214 engine.
The registration documentation has been prepared so that the car is ready for European export or re-registration in Italy with the original 1963 number plate. With only 77 kilometres on the clock after restoration, this is a unique opportunity to own a fabulous replica that is aesthetically pleasing and a pleasure to drive.

The Mechanics
- Equipped with a new Abarth 214 engine with a power output of 75 hp (and a cost of €7,000 - €8,000)

- New clutch
- Both front and rear radiators have been rebuilt to Abarth specifications

What makes this replica particularly good is the use of the correct Abarth 214 engine, obtained at considerable cost. Although it has covered very few kilometres since it was completed, we have been informed that it starts regularly and drives very well, with plenty of power available to race this little car.
