The first proto type abarth was made in 1975 and had the 130 v6 engine and a zf 5 speed back axel it was too heavy in front and was killed off by top managment when it was  decided it was too expensive It was a mean looking beast with much bigger and wider arches and a whaletail type spoiler its in the book by Grahm Robson page 55

It is the rear track and front track that make me feel it is an 031 as the track was very wide due to the transaxle gearbox but the dimensions are very similar looking

Hi, sid131.

I do not know the racing history. But, there is a possibility that VANNI (the owner at that time) entered for a race (rallye ?).

According to the "ABARTH GUIDE" (by Alfred S. Cosentino & Nigensha),

well Enzo you would be the man who knows about destroying a 131 sport, well if it was a mint one & i got all the interior & trim bits then it may be ok Wink Wink
but cars like this should be made out of tired 2 door 131s as all will be replaced or thrown away?
