Title: Fiat 131 Abarth Group 4 Post by: kev131 on August 07, 2007, 06:29:42 PM As part of the Italian car day last Sunday (see other thread) a visit to a collector of 70/80s Rally cars was on the itinerary.
I thought that his latest aquisition would be of interest to readers of this forum (especially those in Ireland) as it is the first Group 4 Abarth to reside in the Emerald Isle (there are now 4 genuine Abarths here)? ;D This one is on carbs and apparently is producing about 195bhp. Here are some pics taken from inside a darkish garage. Enjoy and thanks to the owner for permission to post these here.

That is my favourite colour scheme. Looks a very clean car too, thanks for posting the pics.

I think I might just pee my pants if I were taken for a spin a car like that T. Kev, looks like you're gonna make lots of 131 fans very jealous - especially me ;) 195 bhp from carbs - blimey! 8) I could only dream of getting that out of my Stradale ::) Also, quite surprised to see it still on the 'standard' wheels - suits it though. I love 131s!! ;D ;D ;D It's times like these I wish I was closer to all of the Irish 'action'. :-\ |
