Abarth Classiche Celebrates 100 Years Of Monza Circuit With Fiat 500 Restomod | Carscoops carscoops
Called the Abarth Classiche 500 Record Monza ’58, the celebration car is a one-off build based on a 1970 Fiat 500 but modified to look like the first ever Fiat 500 tuned by Abarth, a car that broke six speed and endurance records in February 1958 on the old banked circuit.
Being a newer car, the donor doesn’t have the suicide doors Fiat abandoned in 1965, but in its mist green paint, and wearing “Fiat 500 Abarth” graphics, an Abarth grille and badge, driving lights, and a rigid roof panel to replace the stock car’s roll-back canvas roof, it’s a pretty convincing replica in most other ways. Inside, the new car sports a wooden steering wheel and a dashboard full of Jaeger instruments, plus bare floors and a single race seat.
The new car is on display at the Milan AutoClassica show, and to let visitors judge for themselves how close the Abarth Classiche team’s creation is to the original, the recently restored real record breaker joins it on the stand, along with theAbarth is building five SPs, which are inspired by another of the company’s racing heroes, the 1966 1000 Sport Prototipo, and based on the carbon chassis and running gear...
. Only one of those SP is still up for grabs, and there’ll only ever be one of the tribute 500s, so if you want to bag either you better get on to Abarth Classiche sharpish.
