Description
Older registration documents are included as well as an invoice for the engine renovation and various newspaper clippings about Abarth.
In the motor magazine Fart issue 4 from 1960, the model is described as follows: Small but perfectly formed. For two people, however, the car constitutes an excellent touring vehicle.
In the very positive article, the heavy-feeling brakes are turned into a positive aspect. They prevent sudden and involuntary locking of the wheels. The clutch was hard to press, but that's the case with racing cars, so it was just considered tough. Good road-holding properties and sportily firm suspension. The engine began to pull over 2,000 rpm, and the peak torque seems to be around 5,500 rpm.
New price in 1960: 18,000 SEK
Top speed: 164 km/h
Maximum power at 6,500 rpm.
The beautiful wooden box shown in the pictures is empty.

Technical data
Condition
-
Mechanical condition
The engine does not turn over, likely because the car has been unused and not started for many years. Due to this, nothing under the Technical section has been tested. The car lacks a battery. The original engine has been replaced at some point, but an engine block is included. It is said to have been in this car, but we do not know for certain. The crankshaft caps are missing.
-
Interior condition
The interior is in good condition but needs cleaning. The chrome rings around the gauges are somewhat corroded. A trim piece is loose. The window crank on the right side is missing.
-
Exterior condition
An older repaint has cracked in some places. There are a few minor damages and defects in the paint. The chrome is porous. Bumpers are missing. The hubcaps are rusty. The external door handle on the right side is stuck in the open position, so the door cannot be closed/locked. The important emblems are in place, as shown in the pictures. It was raining when the photos were taken.
-
General condition
An excellent specimen of a very rare Italian sports car. Start it up and drive as is, improving over time, or undertake a major renovation to bring it to top condition. The car has not been examined on a lift. No serious rust issues have been noted during a visual inspection. There might be some at the joint between the front plate and the inner fender, down low.
