1975 FIAT 126 "Abarth" for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.5) based on 634 votes
- This FIAT 126 joined our Black & White Collection in November 2010 at 66. 00 Kilometres (41. 00 miles) when we purchased it from a garage in Maasdriel. Holland. It is now sadly for sale due to a lack of use and the loss of its storage space.
- The car was sold new in Holland and first registered there on March 31st 1976.
- In the late 1990's it was fully restored to original and standard specification (in Holland). It is likely that the car has experienced very little use since it was restored and it is still in very good condition.
- In December 2010 we gained UK road registration on the car.
- Soon after purchasing the 126 we commenced a series of repairs and modifications which included fitting Abarth specification suspension with Spax adjustable shock absorbers (parts supplied by Middle Barton Garage) in February 2011. and Abarth style alloy wheels July 2011.
- In August 2011 we had the engine re-built featuring an Abarth / Middle Barton Garage specification fast-road cam-shaft. Abarth specification sports exhaust. electronic ignition. Dellorto DHLB32 side-draft carburettor. and an Abarth specification aluminium oil sump. All parts supplied by Middle Barton Garage. These works were followed by a rolling road tune by Mech Motorsport in Cheltenham in September 2011 when the engine showed to have 28bhp at 5. 40 rpm and 29 lbft of torque at 3. 00 rpm.
- It is believed that Abarth made only two FIAT-Abarth 126 rally car concepts. both in 1973 and with prefix codes SE 028 and 126 AB. 1C. 1. Our 126 in obviously not an original Abarth and is built as what it is thought one of the original cars would have looked like - there are no known published photographs.
- In May 2013 a new interior carpet was fitted along with new front and rear bumpers.
- Previously registered in Holland as 63-JN-20.
- The FIAT 126 is a model that is now rarely seen due to the earlier FIAT 500 being the one most people save and restore. We like to be different and favored the more angular 1970's styling of the 126. Clearly we are not alone due to the hugely positive response the car generated from observers around Central London where it lived and was thoroughly enjoyed by us in 2013. The car is enormous fun to drive with its throaty exhaust and characterful driving experience and we will miss it terribly when a new owner takes to the wheel.

Hallo,

I am writing my autobiography for my grandchildren and wondered if you would give me permission to use your photo of your white Fiat 126. I owned one the same as this but have no photos. I will of course acknowledge you.

Kind Regards
