Italian classic car enthusiasts cannot be unfamiliar with the small Abarth models built to provide the “people” with access to sports category cars, of which this model is a part. Born as the Fiat 850 Coupé, in 1964, this sports car from Abarth, the 1000 OT (Omologata Turismo), derived from the aforementioned Fiat, hit the… Read More Tiny red racer: 1964 Abarth 1000 OT
The title teases the soundtrack of Rocky III a little (a film that I really liked when I saw it at the cinema as a child), but it also concerns the number of headlights of this rare 1000 OT. In fact, there are few cars like this one, both because few have been sold since… Read More Eyes of the spider: 1970 Abarth 1000 OT
Having four seats but not giving up on sportiness (and, why not, on economy): this asked the typical buyer of the OT 850. Clearly even at the time there were many other cars that could meet these requirements, but they were much more expensive cars and therefore difficult to reach by the middle class, consequently… Read More Quick family car: 1966 Abarth OT 850 Berlina
This OT 1000 is indeed dry as, the seller says, it came out from some storage in Nevada and it’s actually in exceptional dry conditions for a fifty years old car. The real point about these cars is, as usual, the authenticity: they are commonly easy to fake cars as they we based on the… Read More Super dry: 1965 Abarth OT 1000
This car is the tentative of copying a car actually made by Abarth back in 1967 on the Fiat 850 platform: it was called OT 2000 and it was, maybe, the most extreme road going car built by the factory. Five cars were built by Abarth in order to join the endurance competitions of that… Read More Hard-core replica: 1970 Abarth OT 2000 Coupé
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
Update, October 11: This car is now for sale here in Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy, at €34,000 (today $46,000). The seller says that the engine is a type AB204 so it should be correct for this car. No more smell of bargain. July 9 The seller doesn’t say much about this car which seems, at least from… Read More Smell of bargain: 1968 Abarth OT 1300 Coupé
This Abarth 1300 OT is said to be not a restored car but a survivor. Very few of these (original) cars still survive and this seems a very nice OT breed representative. These cars were born as regular Fiat 850 Coupé (this is a 2nd series) and then shipped to Corso Marche at the Abarth… Read More One of few: 1969 Abarth OT 1300 Coupé
