15/1:  We have been informed the car has been sold.

From 12/1:

For sale in the area around Calais in the north of France is this 1973 Fiat 124 Abarth that needs completing. This is an extraordinary opportunity for someone to acquire one of the homologation versions of these rally icons of the 1970s. We are very tempted ourselves to buy the car and we can see this car gone in no time.

The car has been primed and can be painted in the new owner’s favourite Stradale colour. We think the red suits the car best. Other options would be white or azure blue. Most Stradale cars were delivered to customers in white, followed by red. We’d like to know more about the engine. Standard these cars came with a 1800cc Lampredi twincam. If there aren’t already twin carburettors fitted, we would immediately source some and get a custom exhaust made to get the most out of the engine, and we don’t mean just performance-wise. The burble coming out of these engines is pretty amazing. Don’t forget to take out the middle box of course …

Above and below pictures of the red Stradale owned by our friend Ross Alkureishi of Classic Cars magazine are used as example illustrations only.
