The Appeal
The fiat 500 might have been a resounding success for the Italian car manufacturer, but the Abarth was the one everyone wanted. With improvements to performance and some serious style, the Abarth was an instant classic that’s as appealing today as it was almost 60 years ago. This is a very well created replica, with attention having been paid to every detail this Fiat 500 looks like the Abarth 595, that is to say, fantastic.
Restored in Italy with Pearl White and grey paintwork coupled with the red sunroof and interior, it’s a fantastic looking Abarth replica that has clearly been well cared for. It’s an easy to own classic with plenty of Italian style and a real pleasure to drive, making it the perfect classic microcar.

- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you’re able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
