Wow, that's some low mileage! 5 miles a day. I assume it's a second car?

Pre-pandemic it did 16 miles a day but it’s not been in daily use since. Done a whopping 1730 miles between MOTs this year.

Hi Simon
My 595 comp had its first service at 1400 miles so similar mileage. Which garage did you use? Haverfordwest is a stretch and Cardiff seems to have very little Abarth presence. Mine is a keeper so other than for warranty a main dealer history is irrelevant.

Apologies. Just seen this. Used Garden City Garage in Seven Sisters. Not cheap but really happy with the care they took.

Looks like a Competizione launch edition but without the sabelts?

[Ace-T]

If the sabelts are the crazy seats then yes.

Congrats!!

These arrived on Friday:



2 new lambda sensors. Not very exciting.

Ah not a launch spec quite modified by the looks of it.

Not modded, we think, just one of the myriad editions they've done over the years. This is an early 2021 car, so likely a 2020 model in terms of soec/options.

That’s a modified car the steering wheel has aftermarket inserts on and the mats are not standard.

So my first thought was a Competizione with the performance pack, it’s got the right wheels and looks to be missing the aerial, and gloss black mirror caps but has the wrong seats, door inserts rear calipers look to not be painted and no tinted windows by the looks of it?

We understand at the moment that there are no non factory mods. In my understanding the steering wheel stickers and mats you mention aren't mods and I can remove the stickers. However we are getting the vin to double check as the dealer said everything was factory fitted.

Will report back once we have the info.

The carbon stickers and the mats are definitely not OEM.

they just add a bit of uplift to the cabin.

I guess it depends on your definition of mod. Not trying to put you off your new purchase just buyer beware.

Just found the video of it on YouTube. Photos were deceiving. So it has the red rear calipers and tinted windows. Everything looks like it’s a performance pack car so should have an LSD fitted.

I had a look at your picture. What I can say is that the Sabelts were swapped for the sports seats in your car; some people found the former to be uncomfortable for a number of reasons such as driver's build, length of journey. Sabelts are worth a lot of money! The door cards with matching leather armrests were sold as part of the Sabelt package. It is easy to swap door cards. The mats and carbon additions are after market additions which a number of Abarth spaces on FB put up for sale and are bought by Abarth owners.

The attached picture is my Blue Badge's interior.

From the dealers video I mentioned I’d found.

Thanks for all the interest folks. All I want to do is check the spec so I am insured properly.

I like the tan seats, the door cards and back seats are tan so I think it may be a factory fit job. Or someone has done it properly.

I am really interested in whether it has an lsd or not though.

Woukd you post the youtube link please, I cant find it. Many thanks in advance.

LSD has a small white manufacturers sticker on it. From memory can only just see it peering down the side of the battery.

It does have the aluminium roof badge thing, so it's looking possible it's got the performance pack, but not, for reasons yet to be ascertained, the bucket seats.
