Fiat 131 Abarth - Built for the Agnelli family

[kev131]

We have posted about this car before when it came up for sale - Price at the time was ?45k and it didn't stick around long - Apparently 11000 kms from new. There are some obvious changes from standard which probably would not be to everyone's taste but what is extraordinary is the condition it's in - Look how clean it is. Most of the pictures were taken by a friend of Zsolt (Moha on this forum).

MOST INTERESTING !!!

The rear suspension details ( like axis diameter) look different that I have seen on both strada and corsa ...

That's like a new car  And I like ALL the changes. I think I'll play the lottery this weekend as I'd very much like to have it  But what is of most interest to me is that while the rear hubs have large hub-centric spacers on them the front hubs have spacers wide enough to cover the central ring and there's no hub-ring protruding to locate the wheel. If it's good enough for Abarth it'll be good enough for me so where did I put those Cromadoras for my Sport....

You are obviously spending too much time with Toyotas!     

The Agnelli family are the founders and owners of Fiat. On July 1, 1899, Giovanni Agnelli  created the Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino, which became Fiat. And the rest, as they say, is history! Have a look at http://www.answers.com/Agnelli?gwp=11&ver=2.4.0.651&method=3

Kiichiro Toyoda founded Toyota.  (note the spelling difference in the name of the man and the company).

Nice....very nice......even if it is blue

I don't think it's been used a great deal though. These cars need to be used not left in the garage OK, so mine is 'very' used, but that's what they were built for. Never been out in the rain has it - a bit too clean for my taste, but lovely nonetheless.

Thanks Theo learn something every day.

Miro,

Just to reiterate whats been said above, the underside of the car in this article is the same as mine. All the suspension parts are the same size and in the same location on this blue car and my red Stradale, the only difference being that I don't have brass fittings - and there's a bit more road dirty on mine!

Also looks like my car has a dented sump too cos mines not as perfect as that pictured.
