Hopefully still alive and gracing an enthusiat's collection. ;)

According to Graham Robson's Rally Giant book on the 131 Abarth, this is a 1976 car. It's listed at the back along with most of the known reg nos.

He also says that reg nos were sometimes moved to a newer car if the original became too damaged. As this looks like the French livery, which my sketchy chronongical knowledge of the sequence of liveries, came later in the rallying order of the model's career, I wonder if this reg was inherited from an earlier car...? Now.. I've even bored myself with this meandering posting so I'll stop now!!  :D
