LiamD Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 One of the weirdest things i've ever seen on the road was a Fiat 500 abarth going down the A11 at full chat (between the speedcameras) with a Ferrari Testarossa in tow, not just one rare car but another following it.I don't know if i would actually fit in one mind! I can't imagine them being built with lanky gits in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougless Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Went to a party in Southend in the early seventies in one of those. Well actually there were seven of us in the car but we only traveled 2 miles like that. When we arrived the first person had to get out through the sunroof, we were so jammed in. I am not sure how Dave our driver managed. Great cars.There was a Fiat 600 as well, slightly bigger with a 850 engine I think. I know is should have a 600 but this is Fiat we are talking about.The coolest of the lot was a forward control, like a Type 2, people carrier version of the 600. Think a little longer than the 500 but not by much. I think it would seat six but I am not sure. Now that was a Cool vehicle!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iTomKelly Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 One of my friends had it as his wedding car over in Italy. Absolutely love them, will be very tempted when the new Abarth version comes out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardaft Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) There was one at the fiat dealer when i went to see the new 500, they had them both painted the same with the same graphics. Really cool car but its really really tiny Ive seen a couple of these in the UK. There are still lots in other countires though, especially in Amsterdam!

Mouse_GTI Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I'm seriously considering a 500 Abarth as my next car in 2-3 years time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
