No idea what the reserve price is and I can only make out some of the Italian - Looks like one owner before the current one for the last 2 years - And if the photos tell the real story... it's got to be worth ?7/8000 euros!

Anyone speak good Italian and can translate?

Hmmm - Merci Jean - French...or Swaheli might have been easier to understand - Is that babelfish that you have used? Thanks for going to this trouble.

Are you saying that the car has no papers with it?

It's still a rare car in what appears to be quite good condition no matter what it's registration history...although I am less impressed if it has been painted as you suggest.

to close this subject the human translation :

Engine  2000 twin cam, body color is antracite metallic.

I own that car since about 2 years and am the 3rd owner.

The 1st owner was a state trooper in retirement.,and got  personally the car
from the  Abarth Factory in Turin.
In 2000, he sold it to a colleague who stored it in a garage untill I bought it.

I have refresehd the bodywork which had no point of rust and made  some small restorations by preserving origins.
The inside is impecable.
a motorist  made a review complete of the engine and replaced the brakes pads and the hole exhaust line,  also changed the tyres including  balancing the wheels.
in my view  the car is now introduced in the best conditins.
it has an ASI registration and is one of 20 copies from the  Abarth Factory.
spare parts come from Germany in special release designed by Walter Rohrl.


.....  Abarth workers were so badly appointed that they kept building cars outside
       the working hours !!!!!   Grin

Bidding ended up at ?8050 with the highest bid coming from what seemed like a genuine bidder - Although some of the lower bids looked a little suspect. And the highest bid was still below reserve.

More evidence of improving 131 values ...?
