This Abarth called “Monomille” – the name is for “mono”, that is the single camshaft, and “mille” that is 1,000 c.c. displacement – is said to be an experimental car, and the first owner was Abarth & C. So the seller says that this car (chassis #335) was built with several special parts: the engine… Read More Sperimentale: 1964 Abarth Monomille
“Spyder” is not a typo: actually we’ve checked the period sale brochure and, indeed, Cisitalia called these open cars “Spyder”, just like the Porsche 550 RS. Strange indeed. Back to this particular car, we suspect that this could be the same car we’ve published here some months ago but we’re not sure of it, so… Read More Fair price: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Spyder by Allemano
Did you ever see a car radio integrated in the rear view mirror? We didn’t, so this is the first time; however that’s not the only interesting aspect of this Cisitalia 850 Coupé. This is one of the few Cisitalia-Argentina built by the son of Piero Dusio, the founder of Cisitalia who left Italy for… Read More Invest in gold/2: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Coupé by Allemano
In the early seventies, to cutting edge of the Abarth family was the Scorpione produced in three different versions: “OT1300/124”, S and SS. This car has the SS badge, and that means that this is one of the six SS ever built. Having the SS badge means that the car has some peculiar solutions: the… Read More Unbeatable conditions: 1970 Abarth 1300 Scorpione SS
Two cars built by Allemano are better than just one, so here it is a small roadster built by Allemano, this time using a Fiat 600 chassis. The starting point was, as just said, the Fiat 600 chassis and engine but of course this last one, as a tradition for Abarth, had a little boost… Read More Two in a row: 1958 Abarth 750 Spider by Allemano
There is a long story behind this former Abarth 750 GT Zagato which has been heavily transformed during the past years into an offroad racer. Basically the past owner of this car owned a couple of Ferrari Testarossa (we suppose the 250, of course) with consecutive chassis serial numbers. Those TRs have been sold in… Read More Offroad racer: 1956 Abarth 750 GT by Zagato
What has actually attracted us about this car is not only the car in itself which is rare and in barn find conditions, but also the asking price which is, you know, “cheap”. The seller says that the car is stored in a garage since 1982 and, of course, it needs a total restoration but… Read More Cheap: 1960 Abarth 750 Sestriere by Zagato
How long has it been since you saw the last Cisitalia for sale? Ok this is the “2nd generation” Cisitalia but, anyway, many months have passed since the last time we saw one for sale. These cars was not entirely built by Cisitalia: the founder’s son, Carlo Dusio, kept on building cars but starting from… Read More Red and open: 1961 Cisitalia-Abarth 850 Spider by Allemano
“Mostro” in italian means monster: this was the nickname given by Abarth to the OT 2000, a Fiat 850 with widened rear wings and equipped with an Abarth twin cam, 2000 c.c. engine. The “Mostro” was a one-off car (now in a private collection in Japan) but it unleashed the fantasy of many: who built… Read More Mostro: 1965 Abarth OT 2000 recreation
These coupes were built, of course, on the reliable Fiat 850 platform but, apart from this, they had few in common with their relative. That’s because thwy were built in the Abarth factory in Corso Marche, Torino, starting by the Fiat chassis and, for this particular model, the chassis, suspensions and power unit were matched… Read More Needs paint and chrome: 1960 Abarth 850S Coupé Scorpione by Allemano
