The Attractions
The Fiat Ritmo 130 TC Abarth is probably one of the lesser-known protagonists of the golden age of hot hatch cars, but it was faster than almost all of its rivals, including the Volkswagen Golf GTI, Ford Escort XR3i and Opel Kadett GSI. The result of an in-house Fiat project, the compact, lightweight Ritmo was a perfect basis for sporty modifications and was entrusted to the care of the legendary Abarth.
This 1986 example stands out for the extremely original condition in which it has been preserved, having been meticulously maintained by a collector over the past ten years. With its original GR black number plate and original interior, this Ritmo Abarth offers an extraordinary opportunity to own an increasingly rare piece of Italian automotive history. It will be delivered with updated overhaul, ready to be driven and enjoyed.DRR08535.jpg947.78 KB
