“Bialbero” means twin cam: it is the top feature for a classic Abarth engine. They made it this way with three displacements: 750, 1,000, 1,300 and 2,000 cc. These engines are very rare to fine alone: they generally belong to cars which have been destroyed or they were removed from their native cars as they… Read More Twin headed monster: Abarth 1000 “Bialbero” engine
Of course when you’re looking for and Abarth 595/695 the first thing which comes to mind is: is it the real thing? Well, there are many ways to check the originality of an Abarth: the basement casting numbers, the Abarth numbers on the front firewall, some details like the clips which holds the original badges… Read More The quest for authenticity: 1969 Abarth 595 SS
Personally I’m becoming a little bit tired of static shows which, too often, are just a runway for cars which, too often again, are shiny for sure but sometimes are not properly restored (that doesn’t mean they are restored badly, of course, but that they are restored more in order to amaze than respecting how… Read More Forget Villa d’Este: 2015 Vernasca Silver Flag
It’s getting so hard to see a car like this, still needing of a restoration, that when we found it that’s a nice day. Indeed this is a rare Abarth 750 Spier by Allemano, an aluminium little sports car mostly used, back then, to race accross a track (in the U.S.A.) while in Europe it… Read More No paint: 1958 Abarth 750 Spider by Allemano
This Abarth 750 spider has a long time race history and, even now, it’s still hungry for races. Of course this car is not a rocket, its engine produces something around 40/45 hp but they’re enough to push this light car which is even smaller than you suppose: these are very tiny cars but, just for… Read More Long time racer: 1959 Abarth 750 Spider by Allemano
This Abarth is not the only 750 double bubble on the market in this moment, and for sure it’s not the cheapest, but we know (even if not personally) who the seller is and for sure this is one must be of the best 750 around. Indeed the seller is one the most knowledgeable Abarth guy… Read More Premium quality: 1958 Abarth 750 by Zagato
Every italian classic car enthusiast would expect to see a proper Abarth painted in white: clearly 47 years ago the first owner was a different thinker. This beautiful and rare OT 1300 is said to have had one owner only in 42 years and probably he loved much his car: for sure this has been repainted… Read More Not only white: 1968 Abarth OT 1300
Let’s begin with saying that this car it’s not a bargain, and we suppose that no-one could believe it is. However, this is so beautiful that deserves to be published. It’s a 1000 Bialbero “Long Nose” from 1964, a car (like most Abarth’s) buillt in order to join every available race accross the world: every detail of… Read More Short car, long nose: 1964 Abarth 1000 Bialbero
We know that “Bug” is the nick officially reserved to Volkswagen Beetle, but this cute tiny car, painted in its original (and now faded) black really looks like a little insect. Many of us have seen, during the last years, a lot of these cars in desperate conditions, full of rust holes and often without… Read More Extra dry bug: 1959 Abarth 750 Sestriére by Zagato
As long as this 595 SS (Abarth #105/2649) has not the suicide door, it should have been built after 1964: of course this is an assumption as the seller has forgotten to specify when this car was born. If that is true, this car was built on the F platform, so the chassis number doesn’t… Read More Nothing romantic here: 1965 Abarth 595 SS
