1977 FIAT 131 ABARTH

Freshly imported from a dry climate, South Africa, with the relevant import paperwork supplied.

The car can only be described as 'exceptionally good' .... 'remarkable' is probably a better choice of words seeing as its a Fiat..!! 

Let's face it, these rusted away while you went shopping. Pull up outside Tesco's with a presentable looking 131 only to return an hour and a half later to a rusty car parked where you left yours.... A quick check of the registration number confirmed it was, in fact, your car!!

Sounds great, crisp with lovely bark from the twin carburettors.

Please take the time to view the body. The original spot wields can be viewed at the bottom of the rear quarters etc.

Black underneath, but you can easily see the straight edges of the steel.

If this car carried a 'Ford' badge it would be guided in excess of £25,000.

On-site now for viewing.

1967 ABARTH 850 TC DERIVATA 'TRIBUTE'

Estimate: £25000 - £30000

Chassis No: 100D2472263

The Abarth 850 TC (Turismo Competition), was started to build from Abarth at the end of 1960, whose road version remained in production until 1966. Fiat supplied the 600 without some mechanical parts (crankshaft, brakes, carburettor and exhaust) that were mounted by Abarth turning the 600 into 850 TC.

The special parts characterizing the versions developed by Abarth were composed of a dashboard (with specific instrumentation with speedometer, odometer, tachometer, fuel gauge and oil temperature gauge), 3-spoke steering wheel, specific carburettor mounted on a special aluminum housing, oil pan in aluminum, suction and discharge system for specific gases, etc. To mention also the fact that on these versions the tailgate, which closed the engine placed in the rear of the car, was raised with latches to increase the cooling of the engine itself and therefore its efficiency.

The Abarths have won for years in the circuits of the whole world, sometimes beating cars of power and bigger capacity, and these victories have helped to build the legend of the Abarth brand and in particular of the 850 TC.

This Stunning Abarth is a fantastic tribute for one of Fthe its most famous cars and represents a fun car for vintage rallies or hillclimbs. Originally imported from Italy and modified in all the right ways to insure its ‘Giant-killing’ ways are replicated.

1964 FIAT 2300 ABARTH

Chassis No: 114BS 121566

The Fiat 2300 Coupé was first exhibited as a Sergio Sartorelli design concept on Carrozzeria Ghia’s stand at the 1960 Turin Motor Show. It was originally Ghia’s intention to build A 2300 in house; however, construction was actually carried out by OSI as Ghia was unable to supply the volumes planned for production. The model used the Fiat 2300 saloon floor pan, with engine tuning and modifications by Carlo Abarth for the more powerful 2300S.

The six-cylinder 2,279cc power unit was the work of former Ferrari engine designer, Aurelio Lampredi. For the 2300S, Abarth increased the compression ratio and fitted a ‘hotter’ camshaft and two twin-choke Weber carburettors, in which form the engine produced 136bhp. Other technological improvements included the adoption of four-wheel disc brakes.

When launched, the Fiat 2300S was one of the fastest and most attractive GT’s of its day, outperforming the Lancia Flaminia and the Alfa Romeo 2600. For competition purposes, Abarth bored out the block from 2,279cc to 2,323cc, fitted three Weber 40 DCOE twin-choke carburettors, increased the compression ratio, and fitted a multi-branch exhaust system. The result of these modifications was an increase in power to some 210bhp and a corresponding increase in top speed to over 130mph.

For 1963, Abarth took the model a stage further, developing three competition coupés that competed that season. The most notable was that driven by Paul Frère and Lucien Bianchi, which achieved a class win and 2nd place overall at the Nürburgring 12-Hour race. Another 2300S driven by Rudi Golderner and Karl von Kothen finished in 9th place overall, and in the same year placed 12th overall in the Tour de France.

Rare to find an original red 1964 Fiat 2300 S Coupe Abarth. With a beautiful black interior with a nice patina. Power comes from the more powerful matching “Abarth” tuned 6 cylinders in line engine type 114B006 equipped with double twin choke Weber 38DCOE carburettors producing 136 hp. Attached to a 4 speed all synchromesh manual gearbox.

The Fiat 2300 range included this Ghia designed grand tourer. Having developed the coupé body Ghia lacked the production capacity needed for the volumes and were obliged to subcontract its production to OSI. Inside the 2300 coupe featured power operated windows, a beautiful and original Nardi steering wheel and numerous clocks and other luxury fittings.

This particular car is very sound, being an older restoration which still presents well. The motor, to S-specification with twin Weber carburettors, is very strong and revs freely, the gearbox is smooth and the disc brakes effective. The 2300S has spent quite some time in the south of France, in the Var department of the St. Tropez area. This gentleman’s coupe, with room for four passengers, and a large luggage room, is very pleasant for long distance touring.

Fun to drive, a Fiat 2300 S would be a delightful, charming, and powerful addition to any collection. Finished in a very attractive combination of Fiat Rosso with a Nero interior, this is a nice example of a very stylish and interesting GT car of the 1960’s.

2010 Fiat Abarth 500 R3T, - Coys Auction Nurburgring 08-08-15

COMING TO AUCTION

FROM

2010 Fiat Abarth 500 R3T,

Estimate: €25,000 - €35,000

Registration Number: Italian Registered

Chassis Number: ZFA31200000438767

Abarth introduced its latest racing gem at the 51st Sanremo Rally. The Abarth 500 R3T lent its name to a promotional rally trophy in 2010, which joined the two track events (European and Italian) with the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse. For Abarth, this marks a return to promotional trophy events, a niche it has made its own for more than thirty years. Since 1977, to be precise, when the first ever Autobianchi A112 Abarth Championship was held, followed by the Fiat Uno, Uno Turbo, Cinquecento, Seicento, Punto Kit and Super 1600, Stilo and Panda Kit trophy. The Abarth 500 rally version is type-approved for Group R3T, the category for turbocharged cars up to 1600cc in capacity.

The Abarth 500 power unit features 1,368cc with a Garret GT 1446 fixed geometry turbocharger capable of delivering a power of 180 HP (132 kW) at 5,500rpm. The gearbox is sequential, front meshing with six speeds and includes a multi-plate self-locking differential, twin-plate clutch and specific driveshafts. The 7” x 17” OZ asphalt rims are designed for 19/62-17 tyres. The Brembo brakes are all disc, ventilated at the front with four calipers, solid disc at the rear with brake distributor and governor. The handbrake is hydraulic. The Abarth 500 Assetto Corse is equipped with a special welded roll-bar integral with the body, the required safety devices and FIA type-approved seats with seat belts with six anchorage points. The weight is the lowest set by the regulations for this category: 1,080 kilograms unladen.

Great care has been taken to ensure that the suspension can be adjusted to obtain a ride suited to each driver's individual driving style. The racing shock absorbers are adjustable, with coaxial spring and ring nut to alter the ground clearance plus specific shims to adjust the caster and camber angles.

The car offered today participated at the Trofeo Abarth Rally of the 2011. It is fitted with a new engine bought directly from Abarth; the invoice is available with the car. It is updated with the official Abarth upgrades for the Trofeo Abarth Rally. The car is a little jewel and it is accompanied by Italian registration and CSAI Passport to race. The first owner of the car was Abarth S.p.A. This car is ready to enjoy its new owner.

Das hier angebotene Stück nahm an der Trofeo Abarth Rally 2011 teil, und ist mit einem neuen, direkt von Abarth gekauften Motor ausgestattet worden (die Rechnung wird mit übergeben). Das Auto ist ein kleines Juwel, mit italienischer Registrierung und CSAI Pass für Rennfahrten. Der erste Eigentümer des Autos war Abarth S.p.A., nun ist es fahrbereit um seinem neuen Besitzer Freude zu bereiten.

1959 FIAT MULTIPLA ABARTH - Coys Auction, Nurburgring 08/08/15

 

 

1959 FIAT MULTIPLA ABARTH 

Estimate: €30,000 - €40,000
Registration Number: EU Taxes Paid
Chassis Number: 54054

It is widely believed that the Fiat 500 was Fiat's first rear-engined post-war people's car, but it was, in fact, predated by the 600 or Seicento. Produced from 1955 to 1969, it measured only 321cm in length but could still accommodate four people and their luggage. It was such a success in post-war Italy that some 2.6 million were built at Fiat's Mirafiori plant. The 600's popularity was not, however, confined to Italy alone, as a wide range of countries, from Russia to Argentina, built the car under licence. Power came from a water-cooled four cylinder motor which was able to propel the little Fiat to 59mph with the 633cc engine or even to 68mph with the later 767cc variant.
A year after the 600's debut, the Multipla was introduced; based on the same mechanical components but with the front suspension from the bigger Fiat 1100, it was nothing less than the first people carrier, and could seat six despite being only 50cm longer than the Austin Mini! Not surprisingly it was widely used as a taxi in its native Italy.
This very special Multipla was in ownership at a Fiat-Abarth dealer who used it for dealer marketing comunication. Its engine has been updated with the Abarth kit available at the time, consisting of special exhaust, Abarth dashboard, increased oil sump, special cammes, and a Dell'Orto carburator. In the 2000s it was fitted also with 124 Abarth wheels.

This car has been recently restored in the body, interior, and mechanically it is in wonderful condition. It now runs like brand new, and photographs documenting the car's restoration can be found in the car's file.

Dieser ganz besondere Multipla war im Besitz eines Fiat-Abarth-Händlers, sein Motor wurde in dieser Zeit aufgewartet, ebenfalls ein spezieller Auspuff, Armaturenbrett, verstärkter Ölwanne und Dell'Orto Vergaser. In den 2000er Jahren wurde es auch mit 124er Abarth-Reifen ausgestattet. 

Das Auto ist kürzlich an Karosserie, Interieur und Mechanik restauriert worden, und ist in einem sehr guten Zustand und läuft wieder wie neu. Foto´s die die Restaurierung dokumentieren finden sich in der Auto-Akte.
