R-based 1975 Fiat 500 Abarth “Replica”, in excellent condition, restored 5 years ago and used a few times, mainly for rallies or events, always kept indoors.
Bottom and sills were replaced; it was stripped and repainted completely, non-original metallic burgundy colour. Also replaced: both bumpers, headlights, tail lights, window seals (L model with chrome) and drip rails.

The setup to make it an Abarth replica includes:
Mechanics:
650 engine with Weber 20 double-barrel carburettor, lightened flywheel with crankshaft balancing, re-profiled 35/75 camshaft and Abarth oversized oil sump. Modified gearbox with addition of synchronisers and 5th gear. Road set-up with 6-sheet leaf spring with inverted eyes and 19 cm springs at the rear, progressive and reinforced. New spindles and steering box.
Interior:
vintage Veglia instruments, completely overhauled, with wooden support, mounted on aluminium dashboard made for the 500 modifications; total value around €900. Hellebore wooden steering wheel for Fiat, from the 1970s, worth €250–300. New wooden knob and mats.
Exterior:
metal Abarth front emblem, metal Abarth rear emblem, Maifrini alloy rims with tyres at 80%, bonnet lift kit and chrome hinges for reverse opening, Abarth sill strips and bonnet adhesive strip with Abarth logo.
The entire restoration was carried out by a professional. The body is in excellent condition, free of rust, with only a dent on the passenger door, visible in the photo, and a few marks on the nose due to normal use. No damage caused by accidents was found.
The entire electrical system was tested and has no issues.
The car was recently serviced and passed the inspection without any notes on 30/04/2022.
