The Italians know how to do it right...


Your brother has great taste Phil! There was a '72 Fulvia Coupe in the auction at the NEC over the weekend which didn't reach its reserve, it's a homage to the rally cars and has a few bits 'n' bobs added...

This morning we put a deposit down on this one owner, 27k miles Abarth 595 'Anniversario', should be picking it up on Friday...

Not the quickest Abarth being an auto (so the Mrs.can drive it) but it's in excellent nick and drives superbly. Sounds like an angry puppy!
My brother's Fulvia is a homage to our fathers Jolly Club cars from the 60's and 70's
The Abarth looks nice :)

Prior to the 1966 Dutch GP, Jack Brabham appeared on the grid with a fake beard, a walking stick, limping on his left leg and trembling, after media suggested that he was too old to be competitive, at 40 years of age. He won the race, en route to his third WDC and his first with his own team.

Normally red paint can be a nightmare with fading and clear coat coming off but this 19 year old Mini that's done 300,000 kilometres is exceptional.View attachment 124612View attachment 124613
