Thumbs up

Thank you for those Abarth 500 pics Mark
I was told they had sneaked some through the docks at Portbury
(along with Punto Abarth(s) and a couple of new Ford kas).

I assumed the Abarths would be hidden away by Fiat until next weekend.
Having them in the corner of the paddock at Goodwood seemed too obvious somehow.

Hi James, thanks for the link, agree with you on the grey, a classic from the old Abarths I think.

That interior looks fantastic as well.

I really didn't think I would want one of these but now the more pictures I see the more I like it.

Default Don't let it get wet now!

Fantastic photos.
Any idea when the 500 Abarth (RHD) will be on sale in the UK?

Do we know when the UK Abarth Press launch is taking place?
I thought it was just before or just after the Goodwood dealer launch this weekend?
AutoPlus magazine (France's equivalent of AutoEXpress) are suggesting they have driven it
and will have a report in next week's edition - we shall see!

Do you remember the expensive REDvintage car-covers, with a design of an "old-style" 500 printed into the material -
they were used at the launch of the 500?


Well you are going to be able to get a car cover with a WHITE vintage Abarth design on it, to protect your nice new 500 ABARTH!
------------------------------------------------------------
**UPDATE**UPDATE
Here's the proof about the vintage Abarth cover -
The French reveal has already taken place to the press it seems

Nice video.

Shame the sound was overly compressed, but it still sounded nice and throaty.

New car covers,
new outfits for the hostesses,
and a lorry to put them in,
(the Abarths not the hostesses)
