The Attractions
It is safe to say that the Italians are particularly adept at creating small cars with great personality, and the lightweight A112 equipped with an Abarth engine is a splendid example of this tradition. Small but capable of astonishing performance, this tiny and highly original sports car could put both noble sports cars and traffic police to shame, and its agility and excellent road-holding made it extraordinarily effective on winding roads.
Unfortunately, their thrilling performance and excellent track results meant that they often had difficult lives: being among the cars favoured by enthusiasts of brilliant driving in the 1970s and 1980s, many examples suffered accidents or were heavily modified.
This 1973 example is therefore decidedly rare, still equipped with its original Abarth engine and restored with great care in recent years. Having travelled only 674 km since its restoration, this A112 Abarth offers the driving experience of an almost new car and will certainly attract the attention of all enthusiasts, who will appreciate the attention paid to every detail.
