Can you still buy the Abarth 500 brand new?

[Pulse]

As title - anyone know?

[Alfahorn]

Yes.

Yes it isn't a limited edition car. You can also get a 500C Abarth

Absolutely, test drove 2 today - both in esseesse guise. One was a race prepared A500, driven by Lord Charles Brocket - very quick and noisy!!

Ta! They've gone up in price now, so looks like second hand would be a better buy!

That's what I wondered! I'd say most people won't 'get it' though, which is a shame.

Course it's OK, I'd have one and wouldn't give a sh*t what others thought, cracking little things

You would be surprised. I get so many looks and points (good ones) when I'm in mine and lots of people ask about it. For a small car it's a real head turner and such a scream to drive.

I can Second this . . i get so many people asking questions etc when filling up or in the supermarket etc about the car, 2 - 3 a week

I love mine, great social scene with the Abarth UK forum folk as well !

Guys seem very knowledgeable and appreciative of it too, not one negative look or comment!

Epic value

If my mortgage wasnt bleeding me dry id have that in a heartbeat!

2 downers for me at the moment on that
1) I'm supposed to be saving for a house for which at the moment I'm about 2k short
2) The nearest dealer for those is in Edinburgh

How I'd love to have that engine in my Panda 100HP...

[johnycarrera]

Got a reasonably similar deal last year but with a better wheel option and no ballon payment at the end, great wee car and dead cheap to run!
