Abarth 500 Magnets
Description: Over 10,000 individual race victories, 10 world records, and 133 international titles are part of the racing heritage behind the Abarth marque. In fact, success in competition has always been one of the cornerstones of Abarth, and it is no less important now than when Karl 'Carlo' Abarth founded Abarth & Co. in 1949. They called him The Wizard, though his secret was neither magic nor miracle, rather an eye for refinement and an ear for careful tuning. This one is based on the 1954 badge which featured a more detailed scorpion graphic along with the company's formal name.
Description: Fiat’s diminutive city car set the standard for four wheeled micro cars in the ‘Sixties and ‘Seventies. It was no surprise that enthusiastic Italian drivers wanted a little more power and performance, and predictably the Abarth tuning company obliged, building tuned Fiat 500s with larger engines from 1966 until 1971. The Abarth cars had either 595 or 695cc versions of the Fiat twin cylinder motor, good for 30 and 37bhp
