A unique opportunity to buy one of a few 250bhp Abarth in the UK. All performance modifications completed by The Worxs Performance Specialists – Who are more than happy to discuss any part of the cars transformation, from a 135BHP standard 500 into the well-known 250BHP powerhouse it is today!

Incredibly reluctant sale! Being sold due to other commitments and a Tesla on the horizon, therefore my well-loved Abarth 500 needs to find a new home.

As should be expected from a well-known and well looked after car, it comes with Full Service History, lots of receipts including the all important Cambelt & Waterpump replaced @ 34k miles; the same time as the turbo & clutch were upgraded.

There really has been no expense spared on this car. The cost of all modifications comes to in excess of £13,000!! This is not including the purchase price of the vehicle! The work is documented on paper and as has been shared with the Abarth community. It is a known build and at a total investment of over £20,000, it's a fantastic opportunity.

The car enjoys the factory upgraded Climate Control and the superior Interscope sound system. It has the sport cloth interior, which is both comfortable, holds you well and does not wear like the optional leather and MOT with no advisories until 28th June 2018.

There is really no downsides to this car. Yes, there are a couple of marks on the bumpers, including the obligatory stone chip lower down as well as a couple of curb marks on a rim. However, overall you will be hard pushed to find a better car, pound per smile! It really does need to be seen and driven to really know this car is special!

The build has been completed using branded and proven parts. The list is extensive and detailed below. Notable highlights are as follows:

BorgWarner Hybrid Turbo – 249.8BHP / 259.4 FT-LB (fitted only 4k miles ago and capable of over 300BHP) – Professionally tuned by Tune4Performance in Watford

PowerMotive Wireless Valve Exhaust – At the push of a wireless keyfob button you can open and close the vacuum valve to change from OEM quiet to the loud burble, bang and growl known with the PowerMotives!

AAD Short Shifter – A stunning upgrade to the standard shifter. The ‘All Angles Design’ Short Shifter gives precise gear changes in a stunning design that currently is OEM looking but could have the surround removed to show it off!

Four Pot Brembo Calipers & Floating Discs – With 250BHP in a 1 ton car, upgraded brakes are a must and they work very well! They are standard equipment on the £30k+ Abarth Biposto.

CG Motorsports Dual Friction Clutch – A perfect clutch for this car/power!

Orra Racing Front Mounted Intercooler – Imported from one of the best known bespoke Italian FMIC makers, this is a work of art.

BC Racing RN Coilovers – As mentioned, no expense spared…the BC Racing 3 way adjustable Coilovers really take the car from daily driving to track and back very easily indeed!

Depo Boost Gauge – We removed the very large OEM boost gauge and related the fantastic 4 in 1 to the drivers A Pillar, increasing windscreen view which is a must!

Cadamuro Vented Bonnet – To assist with cooling and give the car a great look, a beautiful Cadamuro Vented bonnet was sent to the bodyshop and it just makes the car! The OEM bonnet is included in the sale!

Carbon Fibre Rear Spoiler Extension – Real Carbon Fibre spoiler extension from MS Racing

Pioneer SPH-DA120 Touchscreen Apple CarPlay Stereo – Full touchscreen audio system!

The car is based on the Isle of Wight, which is a 20 minute foot passenger ferry ride from either Portsmouth or Southampton. Happy to meet anyone at the ferry who is serious about looking. Proof of insurance will be required. I am willing to also throw in a Car Ferry ticket for the car and buyer to make things easier upon pickup.

This is a unique and rare car! A build that few are prepared to finance but can now be enjoyed for a fraction of the cost. It's a reluctant sale but one I hope is embraced by a fellow enthusiast.
