Abarth 207A Spyder

Information

Originally finished in a two-tone blue livery.

Full cosmetic and mechanical restoration commissioned by Franco Lombardi. Acclaimed racecar restorer Gabriele Terzi finished refreshing the Abarth's mechanicals in 1990, sourcing parts from the Fiat 1100 and additionally fitting the car with a sports cam and Formula Junior steel rods and crankshaft for a gentle power increase. The 207 A's bodywork had been retained in good condition and many hard-to-source parts came with the vehicle, and, as a result, Gianni Torelli was able to preserve much of the Abarth's cosmetics during his restoration, which concluded in 1992. The car was painted in its current silver and red livery, as suggested by Gino Valenzano as Carlo Abarth's supposed preferred color scheme. The owner also had a removable passenger windshield made to complement the wrap-around driver-only windshield and registered the car for road use.
