Beautiful cars both of them!

I've been trying to persuade an acquaintance to part with his 67 Abarth to no avail - annoyingly it is being used by his employees as a run around.

Here is my Abarth. The exhaust sound is crazy for a 2016 standard car.

Just about to pull the trigger on exactly the same car, apart from it's the flat grey as I'm a tight wad.

Our M135i goes back at the end of February and we drove one of these last week but not the convertible comp and it was a absolute hoot to drive.

Is the 500c comp as good as the hard top?

I have twinair 500 that I run through the business as a pool car and that's been great over the last few years.

I believe not being a full convertible more like a extra large sunroof makes it pretty much as rigid as the Hard top. May be a touch heavier . I always have had convertibles . I traded a 2010 3.4S Boxster for the Abarth. No regrets so far has real character and great sound.

Haha I yes I suppose it is a large sunroof, it ticks alot of boxes for the wife and I.

As much as I have enjoyed the BM for the last 2 years it hasn't made me smile like the abarth has at all, as you say they have character and the sound from the Monza exhaust on start up is fantastic.

I always did enjoy the Abarth more than the Cayman i had as well. To think now that they have the four cylinder engines, i dread to think!

Thanks, they're both great fun. I have some modern Italian stuff too with much more BHP and have just as much fun in these.

Just goes to show it isn't all about BHP, 0-62 and tech.

I won't be parting with either of those any time soon. Took me years to find concourse examples of both cars.

Haha it certainly looks it! Strange the image doesn't show on the thread but when clicking on it, it shows. I like the black and grey a nice look.
