Dear group I recently have become the new custodIan of 1958 Fiat Abarth Chassis No. 508662
Engine no 556555. Unfortunately I do not think the UK DVLA will let me use the original registration plate
(WUY 400) but I live in hope.
The car in question is very interesting as it is a Mecat body and was sold to Fiat UK and is RHD possibly unique ? It was then sold via Anthony Crook of Crook Motors the UK Abarth concessionaire’s who put in
a very special AH block with SS crank and polished internals. It has also been fitted at one stage with a 1000GT Bialbero engine which I also have, but will put the AH block engine back. The car was repainted in the very early 70’s from Amaranto Roma to racing Silver which for the time being will be left the same. I am doing as minimal restoration as possible as I have been down the full restoration route many times before. These photos date from the 70’s
When you select reply there is a picture of the camera. It allows you to download from your photo albums. Give it a try. Hope this helps.
There was a RHD 750 Sestriere at Guy Moerenhout Abarth museum
Another wonderful little DB. As you restore we would like to see your progress. Updated pictures will be place in our archives. Thank you again for the history.
