err check members motors, you'll see two here, one title - 'strada abarth 130tc' and 'strada with a kick' which runs a 200hp turbo 16v motor
otherwise go to fiat-abarth.co.uk

thats a very nice example!
Nice, I like, looks superb condition. Only thing I'd change would be an original set of wheels which I prefer slightly. Loving the leather, presume this is retrimmed. That's how I want my one to look!
Thought I'd best post a picture of my Strada.
Yeah, it will be stripped back sometime probably in the spring, looks pretty good on the surface but I think isn't that great underneath. Any updates on your Ritmo Domo?
Oh yeah, got a Tipo also although it's not on the road, runs great just needs new downpipe and it's good to go. Too many cars not enough time.

I haven't done much on my Ritmo.I was to preoccupied with Tipo, but I'm planing to sort out that problems with machine, so I can start driving it in spring.Lubos sent me Ritmo manual, so it will be much easier now

Well ive got my rear hatch replacement and its rust free which is rare, so i now can get stuck into restoring my Strada 130. Just need this awful weather to clear and iam away. Plenty of welding to do, so will keep me occupied.
iam the same, too many cars, not enough time.

nice work. Hope those holes in the rear panels were welded before filler applied. Looks really nice in white.

Another photo of the Strada
Lo all.. just joined up...
Bought my Strada last weekend- tisn't an Abarth- tis an 85 superstrada... which means it's got the 1.5sohc engine.. and 85bhp.. apparently.
Anyhow.. has very little rust, (bubble on the rear arch- and some previously repaired bubbles round the rear window)... and less than 40K on the clock...
Some photos below... haven't managed to get my camera out during the daylight as yet.. I seem to have spent all my time trying to apply polish to every inch of the car in order to help stop it rusting.. am keeping my eye out for some suitable alloys.. trying to work out where I can find bits to lower it.. and hoping to find a new auxillary headlight to replace my cracked lens.

That looks a nice example saw that for sale on a couple of sites. I think you've got a good one judging by the pictures. Lowering isn't easy on these cars as they have a rear leaf spring arrangement. Personally I wouldn't even both trying. Abarth Cromadora alloys would look good on there - keep an eye out on ebay
