Joske?

Bravo, why settle for less

Bravo GT Status:104,000 miles and running fine

How do you mean? Original parts or "Came out of the factory"? There was never an "Abarth" Bravo as such just an Abarth kit.

Technically yes. As mentioned there was no Fiat Bravo Abarth however you was able to add the Abarth styling kit to the car when new.

Hey that means mine is an Abarth..... My car had it done at new from the factory as an extra but only front bumper and side skirts where done so not complete... shame the guy who bought it didn't keep up his repayments.... Repo man took it away.... lol & after one further owner it landed at my feet.... Actually i feel more sorry for the car now poor thing.

As has been said, there was no Abarth version of the Bravo. A Bravo S/SX/HLX/HGT with an Abarth kit is still just a Bravo S/SX/HLX/HGT, but looks a bit nicer. There were Abarth Punto's and Stilo's, but again, merely styling changes and nothing different with the engine that couldn't be had on other models.

The last proper "Abarth" FIAT was the Strada/Ritmo 130TC. It had a properly tuned engine by Abarth. The new Grande Punto Abarth and Abarth S2000 should be available soon and the New Bravo's appear to be getting Abarth variants with exclusive engines. We will have to see how different they actually are.

FIAT never sold or marketed an Abarth variant of the Bravo. They might have bolted the Abarth styling accessories on at the factory but it would have been an S/SX/HLX or HGT and sold as such with "extras".

so that would make it an orginal abarth not a after market kit

No, it would make it a standard Bravo with the aftermarket kit bolted on.

if the car came out the fiat factory with the kit on the it must be orginal !!!!!!

not like if u bought a sx then added an abarth kit on thats different

How is it different ??

FIAT never sold or marketed a Bravo Abarth. What more can I say ? Your car might have had the extras bolted on at the factory (more likely they were bolted on at the dealership) and it would've been sold as whatever model it was with the kit added on already. It would not have been sold as an Abarth Bravo because they never existed.

Check the cars V5 registration document -
If it does not say Bravo Abarth on it,(and it won't) - then clearly it is'nt an Abarth.

all it can be is an Abarth look-a-like as there was no original u cant have a replica..

CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION!!!!

Not even that,you cant replicate something that never existed.

Its a bravo with a Abarth kit end of!

scotty

CTT Phill is one of those people that sells it with the title, "rare one off original Abarth Bravo, one of a kind"

He's checked his logbook and to his dismay it states "Bog standard Fiat Bravo with no added extras"

LOL
