History of the example
Registered on 4 February 1975, this splendid car still preserves the original black first registration plate and the original registration certificate, extremely rare features to find today and particularly appreciated by the most demanding collectors, as they attest to the vehicle's authenticity and historical continuity.
From its birth the car has had only a few owners, and has always been kept with great care, maintained in impeccable condition and preserved with philological attention to its originality.
In 2006 it obtained the prestigious ASI certification with Gold Plate, one of the most important Italian recognitions for historic vehicles, attesting to the perfect conformity of the car to factory original specifications. In the same context the FIVA Identity Card was issued, an international document certifying the vehicle's historical value and proper conservation.
In 2008 the FIA – Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile issued the Technical Sports Passport classifying the car as GT Class H, allowing participation in international level sporting events and historic recreations.
The car has always been subjected to mandatory biennial periodic inspections, maintaining full compliance with current regulations; the inspection currently in progress is valid until December 2026.
Technical specifications of the model
The Fiat Abarth 124 Sport Rally represents one of the most iconic Italian sports cars of the seventies. Developed by Abarth's racing division from the base of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider, it was designed specifically for international rally competition.
The model mounted a longitudinal front-mounted four-cylinder engine of 1756 cc, derived from the Lampredi family, extensively prepared by Abarth with a high-performance head, fuelled with optimized intake and lighter components. Power in road versions exceeded 120 hp, while in competition versions could reach much higher values.
Among the most distinctive technical features:
• Front longitudinal engine with dual overhead camshaft
• Rear-wheel drive
• 5-speed manual
• Reinforced sport suspension
• Upgraded braking system with discs on all wheels
• Lightweight body with bonnet and panels in light materials
• Widened fenders and rally-specific setup
The car was also equipped with numerous typical Abarth details, including:
• Complete sport instrumentation
• Sport steering wheel
• Specific seats
• Chassis and mechanical components derived from the brand's racing experience.
Model history and rarity
Produced in a limited series between 1972 and 1975, the Fiat Abarth 124 Rally was built to meet the Group 4 rally homologation requirements. The total number produced was relatively small compared with other contemporary sportscar production, making the model highly sought after in the international collecting market today.
This car contributed to Abarth's sporting history in international rallies of the seventies, achieving numerous results in European and world competitions and representing one of the most important chapters of the Fiat-Abarth collaboration in motorsport.
Today examples with original documents, complete historic certifications and first registration plate are particularly rare and sought after, especially when preserved in authentic condition like this car.
