Found an A112 Abarth - Japan

[andbat]

Hello all,

Not looking to become a long time member. Just found an unloved fiat. Not sure if it is rare, but spreading the knowledge of it if it is.
I'm not a fiat lover, but I am a classic car lover.

From a quick google I guess it's an Autobianchi A112 Abarth.
Blue, had the side trim. (Thought it was a mini clubman at first, that's more my passion)
Missing front grille.
Had Abarth badges and aluminium wheels.
Had stuff and pot plants stacked on top of it.
Saw it hidden behind other unused vehicles.

Let me know if it's rare. My first time to see one.
Let me know if anyone is searching for something like this.
Let me know if they're a dime a dozen.

Moderators, feel free to move this somewhere more appropriate. Thank you.

Andy

Hi Andy.

Welcome and thanks for sharing

The A112 is far from common..(if its RHD)

But of course that doesnt necessarily equate to
'Classic status'

I will attemp to add a link here

Are you resident in Japan?

I worked there (Tsukuba) on and off @2007 before the financial crash

Hi Charlie,

I am a resident here.
I didn't check if it was RHD but since this is Japan I'll assume it was.

Thanks.

Really? My girlfriend was from there, so I used to visit every so often (until September 2007 when I moved to Taiwan) ... if you saw another foreigner there, maybe it was me!

I was at the 'Science Part : KEK'

In a previous life I worked in Accelerator Physics.. a fair few UK and US visitors

Interesting country.. we did their
'Lake District' tour (surreal..) and Mt.Fuji based around Hakone

For the 40th birthday of the
'Panda driver'

Would love to go back at some point
