    Abarth 131

    All this time I've been living here, and never knew there was a cafe in the 'tower' at the Sutton Bank top flying club:

    Anyhow, we were in there on day one of the Yorkshire Drive yesterday.

    'Went back to RSD to finish a job in the evening. No complaints about disruption from the SEC visit!

    Hi Frederic,
    Yes, it's the car that Walter Rohrl drove on the Eifel.
    The price is £200,000.

    There is a second car being built in these colours.

    No, not cheap Frederic, but to full group 4 spec with the stronger transmission, late alloy front suspension arms etc. etc.
    Here's the engine bay:

    For sure Chris! That's a great build with a nice engine bay but much more expensive than a real one!Click image for larger version.

    It's got the AR chassis number, so it's an Abarth.

    However, the dash gauges are wrong (for works replication). As is the fuel filler seal. I guess the Fiat Coupe filler cap is just for security?
    1979 season works colour scheme, and nicely done, compared to a lot of them.

    'Did wonder about those caps for a Stratos rep.
    No good for the purist, but lockable?:

    Now that I think. The Abarth rally cars used the biggest (way bigger than a works Stratos, and the sort used on 50s/60s sports racing cars) Aston type cap, and the scale of this Fiat Coupe cap looks only a little smaller. Pity.
