Eugene,
i agree the price is good for a starting price, some negotiation their im sure. If the car is as good as it looks in the photos that is, photos sometimes dont show everything. Has anyone on here seen the underside of the car?

Thanks for the nice comments guys.

I've had Voli up for sale for what seems like ages, initially because my old job was going and things weren't looking too good healthwise either.
As it turned out I went onto to get myself a better job, moved house (never again!) and although there have been ups and downs with our health we're in a better place lifewise.
For those in a similar situation to how we were I'd say never be affraid to speak up, keep positive and things will eventually come good again.

Anywho, back to Voli....

I've had plenty of interest and a few viewings but I missed out on potential sales because Voli decided to keep overheating on the test runs (never a good selling point really), eventually I accepted that she needed a new head gasket and had my good friend Mark Devaney give the head an overhaul and replace the troublesome gasket..... (will post last pics on head thread soon).

Shes now back to her old self and I've found myself asking if I really do want/need to sell her?

Voli never disappoints performance wise and most trips are a pleasureable mix of pace and comfort,
also wherever you go you get plenty of admirable looks and comments from people ...... except from Stratos Replica Drivers (apologies Walezy, I'm talking about UK bods  Wink)

After a lot of debate I've decided I still want her to go to a good home with a new keeper as we have plans for our bungalow and the sale of Voli will help fund them.

As Jay said Voli is up on MBGs site for sale because thats where I bought her from in 2004.
Tony Castle-Miller is an old friend of mine (Yes he does have some  Cheesy) and because his business has international Abarth dealings its a global advert.
Sterling has been down compared to other currencies so I have tried to fit the asking price somewhere in between a good condition S3 Super and an Abarth Stradale, whether its too high I've been asked many times but considering shes a genuine Abarth and looking at Abarths other models and the prices they fetch, the price seems in the middle still.

So if anyone wants to check her over please drop me a line and I'll be happy to discuss a viewing, otherwise I'll be at A.I. Brooklands on May 1st with Voli and if the weathers dry you can have a roll around under the car to see the rust free floor/sills  Smiley

Graham,
the engine bay shot on MBG site, is that just a good coat of Waxoyle or are the inner wings discoloured?

Ta Nick, some day I might get Miss Hawes to pose for a real shot Cheesy  Kiss Wink

Steve yes theres plenty of waxoyl under the bonnet over the panels, its whats preserved the car over the years. It looks grubby but stops tin worm attacking.
The doors and rear quarters are all Waxoyled too.

Heres some pics of the bay and the underneath....

I hope you will find a good new vriend for your car Graham. I am interested when people start to discover these great cars. A great buy as they are part of the Abarth history and the last cars built there together with the Lancia 037.
I didn't realise yours as nr 156, so near of my no 158!
Hope to hear you again!
