One of the reasons they are rare is that certain other Fiat owners, like the 16V/20V brigade gobbled them up, cutting off the legs and sticking them on their "B" posts.

Every time consuming TWO. I don't mind people adorning their cars with badges but just wished they had used after market badges, readily available from Italy, and not the genuine article.

To add insult to injury as these genuine articles were stuck on the Coupes they also go prised/sliced off with no damage by other jealous Coupe/other owners and so it continued.

That badge, was unique to the Ritmo/Strada Abarth and supply was limited even before the vultures descended.

some nice person tried to remove the badge from my punto years ago and broke the GT part off , luckily they were still available from the dealer then for about £17 , the last new one I saw for sale was £100 [emoji33]

Hi s130,
Do you know where the grill badge and the two rear badges can be sourced for the 130?
I am in the process of restoring my 130 and the Fiat Abarth is opaque, the Strada130tc is very fragile and the grill badge’s paint has disappeared!

Many thanks

Henry

Sourcing these badges is very difficult. The last new Fiat Abarth badge I saw online in original wrapping was horrendously expensive.

Below are the relevant part numbers for these badges. Fiat have not had these badges for 20 years+ but a good internet search may reveal some.
