Footnotes

This French-registered FIAT Abarth 850 TC has had the same registration since 15th October 1965 and on 8th August 1999 was acquired Prince Charles de Bourbon-Parme. While in his 20 year ownership the car took part in various events including the Tour of Corsica, the Tour de France Historic Car Rally, and other rallies in Italy. At the Villa d'Este Concours d'Élégance this car was presented with an award by Carlo Abarth himself. A French Carte Grise in the Prince's name is on file. The current vendor acquired the Abarth from Laugier Automobiles, Paris on May 2019.

First registered in 1961, the car is finished in white with red/white vinyl interior, the latter in very good condition and equipped with bucket seats, Willans harnesses, Abarth leather steering wheel, Campagnolo alloy wheels and a roll bar (it should be noted that the speedometer is not correct). An older restoration, the Abarth still presents well and we are advised by the vendor that it is in generally good condition both mechanically and cosmetically, though there are some traces of minor repairs to the under-body.

Cette Fiat Abarth 850 TC immatriculée en France a le même numéro depuis le 15 octobre 1965 et fut achetée par le prince Charles de Bourbon-Parme le 8 août 1999. Pendant les 20 années qu'il la posséda il prit part à plusieurs manifestations, dont le Tour de Corse, le Tour de France historique et d'autres rallyes en Italie. Au concours d'élégance de la Villa d'Este la voiture a reçu son prix des mains de Carlo Abarth lui-même. La carte grise au nom du prince figure au dossier. Le vendeur a acheté l'Abarth chez Laugier Automobiles, à Paris en mai 2019.

Immatriculée en 1961, la voiture est blanche avec intérieur en vinyl rouge et blanc - ce dernier en très bon état - et est équipée de sièges baquets, de harnais Willans, d'un volant Abarth en cuir, de jantes en alliage Campagnolo et d'un arceau (à signaler que le compteur de vitesse ne fonctionne pas correctement). Bien que sa restauration soit déjà ancienne, l'Abarth se présente bien et le vendeur nous signale qu'elle est en bon état général, carrosserie et mécanique, malgré quelques petites traces de réparation visibles au soubassement.
