The Attractions
Capable of outperforming the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Ford Escort XR3i, Vauxhall Astra GTE and MG Maestro at the time, the often forgotten Fiat Ritmo 130 TC Abarth was arguably the best hot hatchback of the 1980s. Designed by Fiat's in-house design team, the compact, lightweight Ritmo was the perfect candidate for superior performance, so they turned to Fiat's legendary coachbuilder, Abarth, to make it extraordinarily fast.
Here we have an example from the third series dating back to 1989. It has been well maintained by its two owners and boasts serial numbers and colours matching factory specifications, along with the original black Fiat/Abarth interior, making it a highly desirable example of this iconic model. With a full maintenance history, a complete exterior repaint and recent mechanical work, this Ritmo is ready to offer its new owner an exciting driving experience.
