Abarth badges

I didn't like to point that out

Abarth badges

A somewhat naive write-up

But a lovely example none the less

And in Canada! I didn't know they sold 'em over there...

As far as I know they didn't. It's most likely a personal import such as a form member whose name escapes me did.

Edit.Tipoboy is the chap I was trying to think of, also Mityrare has/had one.

seems they got the badges on the wrong coupe !!!

Mine has Abarth badges on it...

one on the rear and one on each side where the pininfarina ones should be. The last owner put them on and I've decided they will stay for time being due to concern about revealing a stronger yellow underneath!

It bothered me at first but not any more, and to be honest, most people don't even know what the car is never mind whether or not they did an Abarth version.

I thought the comment that it would be 6 more years before it could be exported to the USA was curious. Sounds like a very strict embargo. Why wouldn't you be able to import a car younger than 25 or so years from Canada to the US?

Typical Italian design.
" ok yu guys, we sa finished the front. Let's go for some lunch ".
Two months later ( six hours before the launch ).
" stick some bloody lights on it and cover de engine with da somethin " !

In the US Coupés have not had type approval, and cannot be imported as a "classic" until they are 25 years old

That explains a lot, actually...
