Highlights
- Evocative reproduction of the Abarth racing cars of the time
- Rebuilt 1050cc engine
- Repainted in period racing livery with a high quality finish
The Plus
An ingenious engineer and performance specialist, Carlo Abarth had already made a name for himself when he moved his company to Turin in 1951. With Fiat headquarters on his doorstep, he devoted his time to developing high-performance versions of popular models, including the 500 and, even more successfully, the 600.
Here we have a beautifully executed replica of the 600 Abarth 1050 TC. Meticulously finished and apparently great fun to drive, it offers an excellent opportunity for fast Fiat enthusiasts to experience a true-to-the-era 600 Abarth 1050 TC. With fresh paint and a rebuilt engine, it is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.
