    I've seen a few pictures before, but I can't stop admiring this car, it's a truly lovely looking little sports car!
    Something I am surprised to say about as Abarth actually! :D The Rosso corsa with Nero roof is truly handsome!

    Man that's beautiful. I wish it had some decent power, but it's simply gorgeous.

    Yes, 65hp even for 1800lbs isnt gonna cut it. It will be painfully slow. I wonder if it's at least any fun to drive because it is beautiful!

    These are spectacular 1951 cars, incredible photos!

    By VIN number:
    205-101 red (I believe)
    205-102 silver (I believe)
    205-103 red/black (I'm certain, it's owned by an F Chatter)

    I've had the privelidge of participating at Goodwood alongside 102 and spent four days and over 1,000 miles alongside 103.

    The powertrain is the Fiat 1100-103, they are a pushrod engine, so no SOHC or DOHC.

    There are some incredible Abarths here in Calgary JermeyJon. The next sequential VIN is 205-104 and it is the 1953 Fiat Abarth Ghia 1100 Sport, the restoration will hopefully be finished sometime this year.

    Others are:
    207 Boano Spyder
    1000SP
    1000GT X2 (Mahle car with fabulous race history and also a LeMans/Sebring car)
    Simca 1300 LeMans car
    Duo Mila in original paint (these are Cobra killers)
    even an Abarth 2 litre supercharged powered Lancia 037

    that's very cool to learn, thanks

    it is a lovely little car, still really liking this one for some reason, even though it needs that extra 2L or 2 cylinders, I'm pretty intrigued by it
