    Prices have dropped so bad on these, it might be fun for another, but to answer the rollover question, if you do the chasis and suspension mods, you improve things but you can't defy physics. I suppose you could add cinder blocks in the footwells to add low-hung weight. :p

    If you watch the auctions on BAT the prices are actually pretty outstanding, in other words high. Low mileage definitely helps. They come up pretty regularly.

    Curmudgeon guys saying its time to own a 500 abarth. Sense of occasion event though its disposable. Has charm. Has personality. Objectively its not that good but good at putting a smile on ur face.

    7 years later the grins are still there, every single time.

    i find myself agreeing with most of jason’s views, outside of the 850csi

    Having owned both, the BMW was a POS before I understood lemon laws. I want to buy both again though. I might buy a 500c Abarth as gift for my mom, she loves them

    A friend in Silicon Valley has a pro-built 500 EV with a 200-hp Suzuki sportbike engine in it. Age and lack of garage space require sale. $7500 includes a nice Abarth to use for suspension and brake parts transfer. You can reach him at [email protected]
