Absolutely stunning Fiat 650 Abarth built to a very high specification and immaculately presented.
The body was restored from a bare shell in Novara, Italyby Ferrari and Lamborghini specialist Carrozzeria Mariani. The work has been carried out to an exceptionally high standard at a reported cost of 20, 000 euros. Modifications include functional cooling ducts in the rear wings and a Zagato style 'double bubble' roof.
The engine has been rebuilt to racing specification with a special twin port cylinder head, larger valves and slipper pistons. Finned Abarth aluminium covers are fitted to the cooling housing and over the rockers and there is a solid Abarth distributor cover. The car also has a larger capacity alloy Abarth sump and has been converted from dynamo to alternator. It also has an oil filter and cooler conversion.
The engine is fed by a large Weber DCOE carb and the car also has a racing exhaust. A stainless steel twin pipe sports exhaust comes with the car as an alternative.
A reconditioned Fiat 126 Biss gearbox has been fitted offering a higher top gear and stronger synchromesh. The car has rack and pinion steering conversion and new, cross drilled discs with drums at the rear. Rear springs are the latest specification Abarth type with rubber cush mounts and steel supports.
